		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.

		Douglas Jardine was captain of the English team that won the infamous Bodyline series in 1932-33.
		One of the Australian players, Jack Fingleton, later wrote that Jardine was the most hated sportsman to ever visit this country, "yet there was something indefinably magnificent and courageous in the way he stuck to his Bodyline guns.

		As the architect of the Bodyline tactics which helped England's cricketers orchestrate a stunning triumph over the Australians in the latter's backyard during the series of 1932-33, he inspired fear and loathing not merely from the spectators at the various venues, but as far up the diplomatic chain as the Australian High Commission and Westminster.

	Jardine by Christopher Douglas
		When Douglas Jardine and his team set sail for Australia in September 1932, a controversy was raging in Australia between Don Bradman himself and the Australian Cricket Board.
		Jardine and his team won back the Ashes but cricket purists were appalled by the methods used.
		This biography explores Jardine the man, by background (Winchester and Oxford) of the establishment; and Jardine the cricketer, the aloof amateur with a ruthlessness more akin to today's professionalism, in his quest for victory.

		After the series, Douglas Jardine – who was later appointed England's captain for the 1932–33 English tour of Australia – devised a plan with Nottinghamshire captain Arthur Carr and his two fast bowlers Harold Larwood and Bill Voce to combat Bradman's extraordinary skills.

	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.
