Under the captaincy of Bob Wyatt (Jardine having rested from the match), the England attack bowled short and around leg stump, with fielders positioned close by on the leg side to catch any deflections. Wyatt later claimed this was not pre-planned and he simply informed Jardine what had happened. The Bodyline tactics continued in the next match and several players, including Jack Fingleton, were hit.[10] The Australian press were shocked and criticised the hostility of Larwood in particular.[11] Some former Australian players joined the criticism, saying the tactics were ethically wrong.
