while watching this show i have seen a few interesting quotes in 2nd last body line episode be thrown out and i am wondering if they were added for drama or where actually legitly said during the real bodyline series. so far i have been unable to find solid evidence to say yes or no. i also apologise for the below names always escape me when I stop watching things. quotes in question:
after an australian batsman was knocked from a hit to the head and the Austrlian fans "rioted" burning a flag (i know this part did not happen). the person who said there are 2 teams out there and only 1 is playing cricket said a new quote "this isn't cricket it is war". did he really say this new quote?
also on field during a match prior to the one listed above Jardine luckily avoided being bowled and caught. when that happened an australian fielder commented he is a lucky bastard to which another said no he is just a bastard. after the innings Jardine demmanded an apology to his honor which the Aussie captian agreed was fair and called out "oy Bastards, which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard" while i can picture an Australian saying this as a light hearted comment i really can not see it ever being used in a match let alone when someone is complaining that they were insulted.
if anyone knows if these 2 events really occured or not would appreciate it. 152.91.9.153 (talk) 21:22, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
"...it was regarded by those still alive who took part in the 1932-33 series or remembered it as a ludicrous travesty of the real events." Where did this information come from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.59.43 (talk) 00:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Why is this mentioned? In 1984 when the series was broadcast 4:3 was the UK standard for TV. 16:9 wouldn't be introduced for another 15 years. There is no mention anywhere else in the article that it was filmed in any other aspect ratio (eg for cinematic release) 82.34.199.173 (talk) 23:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
