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.
