Yes I'm a Pom. This is a good period drama about the 1932-33 Ashes series where England did their homework to deal with Saint Don Bradman. I'm sure if England had a player of Bradman's stature Audtralia would have come up with similar tactics to deal with him!
Where this series does fail is in the hype over so-called bodyline bowling. The political scandal is depicted accurately, but as I understand it the only times when Australian batsmen were hit by the ball England were not at that moment using "bodyline" tactics. But other than that gripe this is worth seeing - if you like cricket that is!
