	Bill Woodfull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William "Bill" Woodfull (22 August 1897, Maldon, Victoria, Australia - 11 August 1965, Tweed Heads South, New South Wales) was an Australian cricket player.
		For the next tour of England in 1930, Woodfull was appointed captain, and led Australia until his retirement 25 Tests later in 1934.
		One remark, to English team manager Pelham Warner as he visited the Australian dressing room to express sympathies for a nasty wound to Woodfull caused by the Bodyline bowling, was leaked to the press and became one of the most famous quotations to emerge from this momentous period of cricket history:

		Bill Woodfull is remembered for his cricketing record and in particular his captaining of the Australian Test Team during the infamous Australia v England “Bodyline” series in 1932 - 1933.
		Bill Woodfull qualified as Bachelor of Arts with a Diploma of Education and was posted to the country, moving around the state until he achieved the top position of Principal at Melbourne High School.

	DM's Explanation of Cricket - History of Cricket
		Bill Woodfull had been a guest in the Governor's box when the incident happened and, dressed in a business suit, he raced out of the box and strode out to the middle of the ground.
		Woodfull later said he regretted not declaring the innings closed there, when he was on the ground, as a sign of protest.
		Bill Voce and Eddie Paynter were listening to the game in Paynter's hospital room, where he had spent most of the second day's play and all of the rest day.

	Leg theory - Wikipedia
		Whilst moderately succesful as a tactic (England regained The Ashes), leg theory was rightly abhorred by the Australian crowds as vicious and unsporting.
		Matters came to a head in the Third Test when Australian captain Bill Woodfull was struck above the heart by Larwood and Bert Oldfield's skull was fractured.
		Woodfull himself added: "There are two sides out there.

		He stopped Larwood in mid run-up as he began to bowl again to Woodfull and deployed his fieldsmen in their bodyline positions around the batsman on the leg side and ordered Larwood to bowl at the body.
		As Woodfull's breast was quickly turning purple with bruising, the 50,000 crowd turned livid when Larwood struck Woodfull a spiteful blow to the fingers.
		To Woodfull it signalled the end of the series as a test of cricketing skills but still he batted on.

		Bill O'Reilly: It was a term that was coined during the Test series, but we were referring to it long before the fracas really started in Adelaide.
		The trouble occurred when Woodfull eventually recovered and took strike again, and before the first ball was bowled, Jardine switched to a Bodyline field, and the first ball that Larwood bowled to him afterwards, was a bumper, straight at him.
		So he was a hero, the man who gave that story to the press, and although Bill Woodfull didn’t like it, it had to happen and everything changed after that: protest was loud and universal.

		The pair had been inseparable ever since the mid-'30s when Loxton was a brash teenager playing for Prahran's seconds and thirds and Parish opening the bowling in the firsts against the likes of Ashes icons Bill Woodfull and Bill Ponsford.
		Opposing Woodfull, he said, was akin to bowling against a barn-door and while he captained Prahran's first XI for four years after the War, his interest in committees and management soon took priority.
		From broadcasting scores and other sports information through a public address system he'd rigged up at Prahran's home ground, Toorak Park, to painting the pickets, running the scoreboard and even playing Father Christmas for the players' kids at festive time, Parish's contribution was all heart and soul.

		Even off a shortened run he still topped the bowling averages with over 100 wickets in the 1936 season but it was team mate Bill Voce who went on the Australian tour in 1936-7.
