Match Notes

England [Marylebone Cricket Club] tour of Australia 1932-33 News

  • The decline of working-class cricketers in England

    Before the Second World War, the majority of the English team were of working-class backgrounds. When England recently took the field against New Zealand, that number had dropped to just one-third

  • An irresistible force

    Douglas Jardine's desire to win back the Ashes at all costs brought him the urn, and vilification in England and Australia

  • Bodyline

    There was outrage over England's tactics in the 1932-33 Ashes, but in the years that followed bouncers shocked no one

  • Speedy Harry

    Was Bodyline's chief protagonist the quickest ever? Duncan Hamilton does a good job of convincing us

  • Look back in equanimity

    David Frith's history of cricket's most fractious series is exhaustive in its attention to detail
