Answer
In the 1932-33 Ashes series, the Australian captain, Bill Woodfull, had voiced concerns about the use of Bodyline tactics by the English team in the previous series. In response, the English captain, Douglas Jardine, agreed not to employ these tactics during the upcoming tour. This decision was significant because it marked a shift in the English approach to Test cricket, and helped to improve relations between the two teams.
