Talk:Jack Ikin

The 1948 benefit match was for Cyril Washbrook, not Ikin, whose benefit did not come until the early 1950s. other stories are told about the Australian bowling in that match, one by Washbrook, who arranged with Bradman for bouncers to be bowled at Pollard, who had apparently been lecturing his batting team-mates on how to deal with LindwallDelahays (talk) 13:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

In the 1950 season, and for most of his subsequent county career, Ikin was one of three outstanding Lancashire close-in fielders to Tattersall, Hilton and Berry, (his partners were Geoffrey Edrich and Ken Grieves) who played a vital part in the shared County Championship win of that year. The Bradman catch story seems to have been allowed to suppress this important aspect of Ikin's skillsDelahays (talk) 03:24, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
