Rank the biggest scandals in Test cricket history

Ahead of Australia's initial Test visit to South Africa since the sandpaper controversy eight years prior, Test Match Special invited fans to evaluate cricket's historical controversies. Ten notable incidents were selected for a public ranking, with outcomes destined for the TMS podcast.

Among the featured events was the 1932-33 Ashes tour, where England employed aggressive short-pitched bowling tactics named Bodyline against Donald Bradman, orchestrated by captain Douglas Jardine and delivered by fast bowlers Harold Larwood and Bill Voce. Another highlighted case was the 1968 cancellation of England's tour to racially segregated South Africa after all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira was initially omitted despite scoring 158 against Australia.
