Nothing in sport has ever caused the feelings of a nation to run so high as the Tests between England and Australia in 1932-33. The bowling methods of the Englishmen, which raised such great indignation among Australians, came to be called BODYLINE, a word which still has an emotional impact on Australians more than fifty years later.

          The bodyline story is the story of an attempt by a fiercely determined captain of England, Douglas Jardine, to overcome the most amazing batsman the world has seen, Don Bradman, and the extraordinary consequences which flowed from the attempt.

          Bodyline is a cricketing story of strong passions and great drama; and it is the story of a controversy which is still not forgotten.
