7. Douglas Jardine:
The young generation wouldn’t have a clue of him but he injected one of the worst plans to the game of cricket before leaving the game. Douglas Jardine, the English captain, was one of the main heads behind the idea of implementing a bodyline plan.
Back then, when the safety measures were less, Douglas used to ask his bowlers to attack the batsmen by bowling a bodyline. Even though if the bowlers were hesitant to do that, Jardine used to make them do that, as per a few news articles of the 1930s and ’40s.
Unfortunately, it became one of the plans for the teams in current world cricket as well. He has always been remembered as ”Bodyline” more than his name ”Jardine”
