Nah,they all got blamed,none of them got away with it.Tbf Jardine was the Skipper so was in control of the methods used by the England side,he was the man in charge and as such could have stopped it...But he didn't want to :bow1:
The reason why Jardine wanted to use Bodyline or leg theory as it was otherwise known was because of Bradman,who Jardine refered to as 'The little bastard'.He is as much to blame as Larwood and Voce were.Anyway Jardine was a great captain and his hatred for the convicts brings a tear to my eye :bow1:

well i thought that, by close of play, we should have scored more than 266 on that wicket.

The wicket was slow though (thats what the batsmen were saying anyway), and the boundaries are long at both ends, got a few 3's which would go for 4 on most grounds.

Still got 7 wickets in hand as well

I saw that Bodyline series TV documentary, Douglas Jardine comes across as a complete and utter cunt.  Larwood was just a young lad taking orders from his pompous cunt of a captain.

I bought Bradman's biography when I was in Australia, now he was a true sporting great, the Bowrel Boy, 110% legend!!!

Larwood wasn't that much of an innocent,Jan! He'd been bowling bodyline type stuff for his county before he did it for England.
They all take some blame,but Jardine as skipper should bare the brunt of it,he could have stopped it.

Anyway back to today,one word MEGA Cheesy How nice it is to see Warne with a century to his name Smiley Just got to keep on tomorrow,put them under some pressure.

Did sky cut to the England fans for that? It was off the head. Best celebration for me since Shrewsbury away.

Lot of pissed up and pissed off Aussies today. Well funny. Theyre so thick they cant get the better of us when they are winning, let alone when England are turning it on.
