History

Historical Context

In the 1932-33 Ashes, England under Douglas Jardine used “bodyline” fast-leg-theory, with Harold Larwood claiming 33 wickets as England won the series 4-1. The recent Starc spell against Bangladesh, echoing that aggressive pace, has revived calls for the ICC to review bowling limits and pitch standards and player safety concerns.
