What were the teams in the bodyline series?
The Bodyline series took place during the 1932-33 Ashes series between England and Australia. The English cricket team, captained by Douglas Jardine, employed a controversial bowling strategy known as "Bodyline" to combat Australia's star batsman, Don Bradman. The Australian team, led by Bill Woodfull, protested against this tactic, which involved bowling short-pitched deliveries aimed at the body of the batsmen. The series is infamous for its intense rivalry and the diplomatic tensions it created between the two nations.
What was the bodyline series and why was it so unpopular?
Basically, in the Bodyline series the English bowlers bowled short bowls at the Australian batsmen. As a result the Australians could only hit the ball in certain areas; behind square on the leg side. England put all their fielders there so they took the wickets quickly. However it was against the spirit of cricket.
When bodyline bowling banned?
Bodyline bowling was effectively banned in 1934 after a controversial series between England and Australia in 1932-33. The tactic, which involved bowling fast, short-pitched deliveries aimed at the batsman's body to induce catches to fielders, was criticized for its unsportsmanlike nature.

As a result, while not explicitly banned, the strategies associated with bodyline became less common and were restricted under the new rules.
