  • Soccer

  • Tennis

  • No

Answer

Jardine's cricket tactics, often referred to as "Bodyline," were specific to cricket and were not applied to any other sport. The strategy involved directing deliveries at the batsman's body to intimidate and restrict their scoring opportunities. Jardine's approach sparked controversy and heightened tensions during the 1932-33 Ashes series against Australia but remained confined to the realm of cricket.
