Description
'Bodyline'. England v Australia. Third Test, Adelaide 14th- 19th January 1933. A selection of original and complete issues of 'The Daily Telegraph' (Sydney) dated 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th January and 'The Herald' (Melbourne) for 16th, 19th and 20th January 1933 with coverage of the third Test at Adelaide Oval, which England won by 338 runs. The morning issue of The Daily Telegraph of 13th January leads with front page speculation of the probable teams prior to the start of play on the first day. The following day's report of the first day's play notes England's recovery from 30/4 with the top four batsmen being dismissed in single figures, rallying to a respectable total of 236/7 at the close. The late editions of 16th January saw the 'Bodyline' debate explode with sensational headlines such as 'Not Cricket!- Woodfull's Accusation', 'Body Bowling Outburst', 'Hurt Skipper's Snub to English Manager', 'Oldfield Retires With Head Injury', 'Angry Crowd Hoots and Counts Out Larwood', after Woodfull had been struck over the heart by a ball from Larwood, and Oldfield on the head. Woodfull is quoted, 'There are two teams out there. One of them is playing cricket, and the other is making no effort to play the game'. The likes of Neville Cardus condemning leg theory bowling. England's innings had closed the previous day on 341 with Australia 109/4. by the end of the third day, Australia had been dismissed for 222 with Oldfield retired hurt, and England were 85/1. 17th January saw reports of the complaint made by the Australian Board of Control by cable to M.C.C. in London following the injury to Bert Oldfield, with Woodfull standing by his earlier statement to Plum Warner. On the pitch, England had moved their score on to 296/6, Australia 415 in arrears at the end of the fourth day. Day six in the 'Timeless' Test series saw England second innings close at 412, setting Australia an unlikely 533 to win. With Larwood bowling to an orthodox off field, Bradman 'began to make hay' until Larwood reverted to leg side tactics to the derision of the crowd. Bradman (66) and Woodfull (73) put on a partnership of 88 runs before Bradman was dismissed by leg spinner, Hedley Verity. Australia were dismissed for 193, Woodfull carrying his bat for an undefeated 73, giving England victory by 338 runs. Meanwhile the press were reporting that the leg theory controversy 'may yet become a diplomatic incident'. The fallout from the Bodyline incident rumbled on in the press over the following days with the anticipation of an expected response from the M.C.C. All newspapers with certificates of authentication. All copies with neat tape repairs to spine, otherwise in good/ very good condition. An excellent day-by-day account of the twists and turns of the second Test. Qty 9 - cricket
