单词	bodyline
释义	bodyline /ˈbɒdɪlʌɪn / noun [mass noun] Cricket, historical Persistent short-pitched fast bowling on the leg side, threatening the batsman’s body, especially as employed by England in the Ashes series in Australia in 1932-3: [as modifier]: bodyline bowling... The Englishmen were pitching a little short on a middle and leg line to the Australian captain - a form of bodyline without Larwood or the ‘leg theory’ cordon. If bodyline bowling had not been curbed I have no doubt that it would have brought about a cessation of Test cricket and seriously jeopardised the future of the game itself. It is astonishing to me that bodyline bowling has never been labelled for what it was: cheating.
