It was the prospect of bowling at this line-up that caused England's 1932 – 33 captain Douglas Jardine to adopt the tactic of fast leg theory, also known as Bodyline.

It should be noted that the MCC, although it had earlier condoned and encouraged bodyline tactics in the 1932 – 33 series, laid the blame on Larwood when relations turned sour.

In Australia, the grounds currently used are The Gabba in Brisbane ( first staged an England – Australia Test in the 1932 – 33 season ), Adelaide Oval ( 1884 – 85 ), The WACA, Perth ( 1970 – 71 ) the Melbourne Cricket Ground ( MCG ) ( 1876 – 77 ) and the Sydney Cricket Ground ( SCG ) ( 1881 – 82 ).

Bodyline, also known as fast leg theory bowling, was a cricketing tactic devised by the English cricket team for their 1932 – 33 Ashes tour of Australia, specifically to combat the extraordinary batting skill of Australia's Don Bradman.

It was believed that something new was required to combat Bradman, but it was believed more likely that Bradman could be dismissed by leg-spin as Walter Robins and Ian Peebles had supposedly caused him problems ; two leg-spinners were included in the English touring party of 1932 – 33.

Bradman had also appeared uncomfortable against the pace of Sandy Bell in his innings of 299 not out, when the desperate bowler decided to bowl short to him, and South African Herbie Taylor, according to Jack Fingleton, may have mentioned this to English cricketers in 1932.

When Jardine was appointed England's captain for the 1932 – 33 English tour of Australia, a meeting was arranged with Nottinghamshire captain Arthur Carr and his two fast bowlers Harold Larwood and Bill Voce at London's Piccadilly Hotel to discuss a plan to combat Bradman's extraordinary skills.

In 1984, Australia's Network Ten produced a television mini-series titled Bodyline, dramatising the events of the 1932 – 33 English tour of Australia.
