During the 1932-33 "Bodyline" tour of Australia, English captain Douglas Jardine went to war against one man, Bradman.
England eventually won the series 4-1 but Bradman won the hearts of the nation by defying the Bodyline tactics and scoring at a respectable average of 56.57..
"They said I was a killer with the ball without taking into account that Bradman with the bat was the greatest killer of all" - Harold Larwood in 1965
