* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Jardine notices Bradman’s weakness against head height short balls, by reviewing game film and picking Larwood’s brain.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Jardine wants his bowlers to bowl short fast deliveries at a very specific line and length. To test his bowlers’ skill, he places a penny at a particular position on the pitch and instructs his bowlers to bowl a short delivery in which the ball will bounce exactly on the penny. Larwood is the only one who succeeds - and he becomes Jardine’s strike bowler.
* SpannerInTheWorks: A regulatory snafu about writing for a newspaper while playing in a test match, threatens to prematurely end Bradman’s career and with it, render all of Jardine’s scheming moot.
