Never Surrender: The Life of Douglas Jardine is the enthralling
story of England's most controversial cricket captain, forever
associated with bodyline bowling on MCC's tour to Australia in
1932/33. Despite his privileged upbringing and amateur status,
Jardine's steely personality and win-at-all-costs ethos was more
akin to the professional game. Confronted with the run-making
genius of Australia's Don Bradman in 1932/33, Jardine resorted to a
form of intimidatory bowling that helped England regain the Ashes,
but his tactics shocked Australia and brought relations between the
two countries to the point of collapse. To restore harmony, Jardine
was disowned by the MCC cricket establishment and shunned
thereafter, but now - in a more modern, competitive age - his
reputation has undergone a rehabilitation, not least in Australia.
Drawing on fresh material, award-winning cricket author Mark Peel
reappraises an outstanding leader whose care for those he valued
knew no bounds.
