Talk:Les Jackson (cricketer)

Comparison with Barnes
His strengths were accuracy and economy: in 1958, he took 143 wickets at the phenomenal average of 10.99 runs per wicket, an economy rate not seen since the days of S.F. Barnes before the First World War and not equalled by a regular first-class bowler since.

The last bowler to take more than 100 wickets in a season with a better average was Tom Richardson in 1894 (196 @ 10.32, ). So this line may be modified to stress that. Barnes had 10.02 in 1913 and 10.25 in 1928, but he played only four and two matches in those seasons. Tintin (talk) 05:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
