Answer
Harold Larwood, an England bowler, served as an inspiration to Ray Lindwall, an Australian fast bowler. Larwood's aggressive and intimidating style of bowling, known as "bodyline," revolutionized the game during the 1932-33 Ashes series. Lindwall, who witnessed Larwood's dominance firsthand, adopted some of his techniques, particularly his use of pace and swing, to become one of the most successful fast bowlers in cricket history.
