| 1 | In this episode of Series/{{Bodyline}}, Jardine starts to put his strategy against Bradman into action. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ! Tropes found here are |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Jardine notices Bradman’s weakness against head height short balls, by reviewing game film and picking Larwood’s brain. |
| 6 | * HonorBeforeReason: The stuffy bureaucracy of the Australian Cricket Board refuse to make adjustments to the game scheduling and allow players to avail of earning opportunities during a financial depression, because it isn’t in the spirit of cricket. |
| 7 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Lord Harris starts coughing in bed. And a minute later, he is dead |
| 8 | * 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. |
| 9 | * ThePlan: Jardine sits his bowlers down and outlines his theory of packing fielders close in on the leg side to ensure that whatever shot the batsman plays, will end in a catch, or failing that, will cause the ball to strike him. |
| 10 | * 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. |
