| Details |
Fingleton batting for New South Wales, hit by a rising ball from Voce. Bradman supports him; the Nawab of Pataudi is picking up his bat, while Ames and Jardine are walking across. During that tour, D.R. Jardine, the MCC Captain, used the pace of Larwood to employ 'leg theory' (also known as 'bodyline' bowling). Although successful on the cricket field, the tactic was deemed unsportsmanlike by many Australians and soured Anglo-Australian relations.
