The 'Bodyline' Series took place in 1932-1933 between England and Australia in Australia.

The England bowlers decided to bowl short at the batsmans body, and pack the legside, in front of and behind square. The Australian batsman then fended the ball of their bodies into the hands of the waiting England fielders. This then led to a few rule changes, including the limit of 2 bouncers per over, and only 2 fielders allowed on the leg side behind square. This was the only series in which Sir Donald Bradman did not excel with the bat. England won the series 4-1.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
