The son of MR Jardine, himself an Oxford Blue, Douglas Jardine was born at Bombay and educated at Winchester, where he was in the XI for three years, being captain in the last, 1919, when he headed the batting figures with 997 runs, average 66.46.
Jardine always defended his tactics and in a book he wrote about the tour described allegations that the England bowlers directed their attack with the intention of causing physical harm as stupid and patently untruthful.
Jardine, who always held that this type of attack could be successfully countered by a resolute batsman, set out to prove the accuracy of his contention.

 Punjab Kesari NewsDetails
Mumbai, (PTI) : Sir Donald Bradman was considered a failure by his lofty standards at the end of the controversial 'Bodyline Series' against Douglas Jardine's leg-theory-using fast bowlers led by Harold Larwood.
Jardine plotted the run-machine's downfall by using leg theory, of packing the on-side field behind the popping crease with a plethora of fielders and asking his trio of pacemen Larwood, Bill Voce and Bill Bowes to bowl short, rising balls at the batsman's rib-cage.
If a modern-day equivalent is to be found to what Bradman went through during that series that brought about legislation prohibiting the stationing of more than two fielders behind the popping crease on the leg side, it could be the current plight of India's champion batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
