three years earlier the star australian batsman donald bradman had demolished england's bowling attack in the NUMBER_TOKENs ashes series now on tour in australia english captain douglas jardine was not about to let this happen again he decided to ruthlessly employ the body line tactic basically what this meant was that his bowlers would steam in they'd bowl the ball really short and hard so they would bounce up and smack the batsman on his body unless he defended himself and there would be a ring of fieldsman all the way around him so that if the ball hit his back it would glance off and they would be able to catch him out it was highly aggressive and it was carnage with their players taking blow after blow the australian spectators were outraged continually booing the english attack but still jardine pressed on the australian captain and opening batsman bill woodfield came in and smack the ball hit him on the heart then the wicketkeeper bert oldfield took the crease the ball glanced off his back hit his head and smashed his skull when an english player tried to apologize for the incident woodfall famously remarked there are two teams out there only one of them was playing cricket
