The Bodyline series refers to England’s 1932–33 Ashes cricket tour of Australia, which became infamous for the controversial bowling tactic used by the English team. The team’s fast bowlers used a combination of short-pitched deliveries aimed at Australian batters’ bodies and the placement of most of the fielders on the leg side to curtail run scoring and dismiss or intimidate the opposing batters.
