Fingleton, conscious that Bradman's self-possession and solitary nature made him unpopular with some teammates, kept his distance after a dressing room argument, while Bradman believed the more popular Fingleton had tried to turn the team against him.[21] Later hostility arose from Bradman's public preference for Bill Brown as a batsman, which Fingleton believed cost him a place on the 1934 tour of England.[22][23] Fingleton's writings on the Bodyline series further soured the relationship.[24] Bradman believed some of the differences stemmed from religion; Fingleton was a Roman Catholic, Bradman an Anglican.[23]
