Larwood is inextricably linked with the 'Bodyline' tour but the Englishman was a Test bowler of the highest quality. His searing pace was a threat in all conditions and in 1932/33 captain Douglas Jardine saw the perfect intimidatory weapon for the strategy of fast leg-side bowling.
He took 33 wickets in the series but injuries to Bill Woodfull and Bert Oldfield from short-pitched deliveries in Adelaide inflamed the public and authorities alike.
On his return to England, Larwood was told to sign a letter of apology. The scapegoat refused and never played another Test.
