Bodyline Serial In Doordarshan

Remember the famous or rather infamous Bodyline series of 1932-33 ? The English bowler of the day, Harold Larwood, bowling at an estimated blistering speed of 90 - 100 mph, totally decimated his Australian opponents.

But more importantly he was accused of bowling bouncers on the leg side, targeting the body of the batsman, especially his opponent's star batsman Don Bradman. For the first time in the history of cricket, a new cricketing term was coined - 'BODYLINE'.
Larwood created havoc in the Australian camp, when he managed to break the skull one of their batsmen and injuring several others. He was widely blamed for his unsportsmanlike conduct, but had no regret, ascribing his action to following the orders of his wily skipper Douglas Jardine, the protagonist of this idea of Bodyline bowling.
Needless to say England won the series Down Under. But more importantly, it managed to put a spanner into the wheels of Bradman juggernaut. The famous Australian, who till then scored runs at an average of 100 plus, could manage only an average of 56 something in that series, quite unlikely of him.
Many from our generation might remember the TV serial based on the same series and aptly named as BODYLINE and shown on DOORDARSHAN, the only TV channel available in India 1987. This controversial strategy adopted by the English captain Jardine was very unpopular, though well within the rules of the game. It was probably the first blotch in the gentleman's game, which until that point was lily white like the flannels worn by the cricketers.
The English team also had a batsman of Indian origin (India was still a British colony) named Nawab of Pataudi, Sr., an useful batsman who incidentally scored a century in that series. I starkly remember a scene from that serial, where Ashok Banthia playing Nawab Pataudi gets emotional in front of his captain Jardine 'Now Sun must be setting in my motherland India' to which his captain responds ' Sun never sets over the British Empire'. Alas, gone are those days of British glory.
Ironically it was the same English who initiated Bodyline bowling to curb Bradman, after being battered by the battery of West Indian and Australian fast bowlers introduced the rule to restrict the number of bouncers per over.
Larwood didn't live very long. Jardine lived little longer. He came to India, did some Tiger hunting and posed himself in pictures taken before a fallen tiger, as the fad of the time. He died soon. Bradman lived the longest and missed the 100 batting average by a whisker - which he could have easily got but for the Bodyline series.

I had stopped watching cricket on television or tracking the game many years back. I don’t remember exactly when I lost interest though. In any case, I was not a fan by any Indian standards. Yes, we played some cricket during school days, near home with cousins, with sturdy bats made of coconut stem, which also sometimes served as unwieldy hockey sticks.

Sometime in the late 80s, I did watch some cricket in an old TV, which being black & white, could not bleed blue at all, while biting nails and jackfruit chips alternatively. Often during the match, I had to carefully climb the tiled roof and turn the antenna in different directions, while my sisters reported from ground how Manoj Prabhakar’s face was swinging off side or on side, depending on antenna’s direction. Those days, antennas were often owner’s envy and neighbor’s pride, especially when the neighbor didn’t have a television. No antenna worth its aluminium could stand up against the winds that swept the Palghat plains. If Ravi Shastri was batting and if I spent even an hour or more on the roof, nothing much would have changed on the score board. If I remember correctly, I did watch a lot of matches during 1986–88. Apart from the matches, the Bodyline serial on DoorDarshan also held my breath, while it played out on the screen. And post-match mornings were served delightfully by R. Mohan’s reporting in The Hindu.

Over the years, my loss of interest started at the same time as too much of analysis and discussions started around cricket on television. Analysis in talk shows that goes like this “Yes, I think this is going to be an interesting game, the pitch is going to be a little hard, a slow outfield.. I think If India needs to win, the boys will have to bat well, bowl well, and field well!” Oh yes, what a revelation! Thank you! (insert a facepalm emoji here). Only umpiring was spared. The armchair analysis started during breaks, post-match, pre-match, and may be later even to standalone shows. Analysis with so many charts with data on speed, angle, and many other such things, which I don’t even understand, was filling the screens. And with IPL came many more new things strategically, including the strategy break. And too many advertisements. Though I can’t complain since advertisement industry paid all of my EMIs, grocery bills, the fine for not getting PUC check done for my car… well, all that is payable by me was paid by my advertising job. So, the comment on advertisements stands rolled back.

All this I remembered when I heard about the conversations surrounding Manjrekar and Jadeja. I happened to watch part of the India-NZ semifinal, the first ever game I watched this year, and got to know who all are playing for India (yes, sorry). I hadn’t heard about Manjrekar’s earlier criticism of Jadeja. Till Twitter started doing its job.

Everyone in India considers himself/herself as an absolute expert in cricket and has a strong opinion, which he/she believes is the absolute truth. That is an old news. Combine that with our new obsession of data, analysis, expert opinion, often by rehabilitated stars. Getting lost in this verbal and data diarrhea, is the simple, serendipitous way of watching the game.
