Douglas Jardine Douglas Robert Jardine (23 October 1900 – 18 June 1958) was a cricketer who played 22 Test matches for England, captaining the side in 15 of those matches between 1931 and 1934. A right-handed batsman, he is best known for captaining the English team during the 1932–33 Ashes tour of Australia. During that series, England employed "Bodyline" tactics against the Australian batsmen, wherein bowlers pitched the ball short on the line of leg stump to rise towards the bodies of the batsmen in a manner that most contemporary players and critics viewed as intimidatory and physically dangerous. Jardine is generally believed to be the person responsible for the implementation of Bodyline. A controversial figure among cricketers, he was well known for his dislike of Australian players and crowds and was unpopular in Australia, particularly for his manner and especially after the Bodyline tour. Many who played under his leadership regarded him as an excellent captain; not all regarded him as good at managing people. He was also famous in cricket circles for wearing a multi-coloured Harlequin cap.

Lindsay Hassett Arthur Lindsay Hassett MBE (28 August 1913 – 16 June 1993) was a cricketer who played for Victoria and Australia. The diminutive Hassett was an elegant middle-order batsman, described by "Wisden" as, "... a master of nearly every stroke ... his superb timing, nimble footwork and strong wrists enabled him to make batting look a simple matter". His sporting career at school singled him out as a precocious talent, but he took a number of seasons to secure a regular place in first-class cricket and initially struggled to make large scores. Selected for the 1938 tour of England with only one first-class century to his name, Hassett established himself with three consecutive first-class tons at the start of the campaign. Although he struggled in the Tests, he played a crucial role in Australia's win in the Fourth Test, with a composed display in the run-chase which sealed the retention of the Ashes. Upon returning to Australia, he distinguished himself in domestic cricket with a series of high scores, becoming the only player to score two centuries in a match against Bill O'Reilly—widely regarded as the best bowler in the world.

Harwood Jarvis Harwood Samuel Coombe Jarvis (30 August 1884 – 10 October 1936) was an Australian cricketer who played two first-class matches for South Australia during the 1905–06 season. Both his father, Affie Jarvis, and uncle, Alfred Jarvis, had played cricket for South Australia, while his father had also represented Australia at Test cricket as a wicket-keeper. Jarvis' only two recorded matches came in late December 1905 and early January 1906, both fixtures in the Sheffield Shield. Playing as a wicket-keeper like his father, he debuted against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with his only other match coming several days later, against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Jarvis scored only five runs from three innings while batting, and took two catches. He played no further matches for South Australia, and died in Port Pirie in October 1936, in a motor accident, having worked as a contractor before his death. In four matches that season, South Australia used three wicket-keepers—Phil Newland, Percy Hutton, and Jarvis—none of whom played any further matches for the state.
