There's a TV series about the #England #Cricket team's visit to #Australia in 1932-33, when England pursued the infamous "bodyline bowling" strategy.

'Travis Head is impossible. He plays impossible innings, does impossible things. Labuschagne poured a base of concrete. Head used it to build a monument. At one point he had 10 from 23 balls, a scoreline most unlike him. Then he took a breath, chewed his gum, and began again. Took on Mohammed Shami, India’s bowler of the tournament, dabbing four and driving another. Then Yadav, the slog sweep for six when it was still supposedly India’s game.' https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov/19/pat-cummins-leadership-made-good-his-decision-to-insert-india #cricket
