[Margaret Pilkington]

January 16 1933 at the Adelaide Oval,
Harold Larwood(who was related to my mothers family) bowled a body line ball at Bert Oldfield.
The batsman collapsed with a fractured skull and the crowd got very ‘restive’ or muderous would have been nearer the mark.
Harold Larwood said to his team mate Les Ames ‘you take the leg stump, I’ll take the middle stump if the come at us’

I don’t know if the crowd did ‘come at em’ was never told that bit of the story.
