Bodyline series

The Bodyline series refers to a famous cricket series between England and Australia in 1932-33. England's bowlers used a controversial tactic called "Bodyline," where they aimed fast deliveries at the batsmen's bodies to induce catches from defensive hits. This aggressive strategy was primarily employed to counter Australia's star batsman, Don Bradman. Although it led to England's victory, it sparked outrage and debates over sportsmanship, forcing the International Cricket Council to revise cricket's rules to prevent similar tactics in the future. The series remains a pivotal moment in cricket history, highlighting the complexities of competition and ethics in sports.
