#2 Harold Larwood

England’s Harold Larwood actually managed to trouble the legendary Don Bradman.

Larwood's Bodyline. You might have heard that line in the recently released advertisement 'We didn't start the fire' and wondered what it referred to. Well, Harold Larwood was a pace bowler who was good enough to give the legendary Don Bradman reasons to worry. In an interview, Larwood proclaimed, 'You know where I hit Bradman? On the ****' Larwood took his wicket four times in eight innings. Not a bad achievement at all!

On England's tour of Australia in 1932, Larwood took as many as 33 wickets and was the architect of England's 4-1 victory. He had a particular liking for Australian batsman, as 64 of his 78 Test wickets came against them.

His fast bouncers came under a lot of criticism for being dangerous.
