Cricket Crisis: Bodyline and Other Lines

Jack Fingleton is one of Australian cricket's most important and intriguing characters. He was an outstanding opening batsman with a reputation for fearlessness against the most hostile and dangerous opening attacks. He faced up to England's feared Bodyline bowlers, and became the first batsman in history to score four successive Test centuries. Fingleton led a varied and at times turbulent life, and over several decades he was involved in an on-again, off-again feud with one-time teammate Sir Donald Bradman.
