Balmain has developed a youn? batsman who may take a big part iu Australian • cricket, reports the Sydney Sun; Arthur Mailey deals with the "find" as follows: —"It is not often that we sec a 15-year-old batsman —he was 15 two weeks ago —with such a splendid variety as A. Jackson, the boy cricketer, who scored 71 for Balmain against the Juniors recently. As a rule, in a boy so young, there is that apparent anxiety that affects his cricket, and periods of cramped play occasionally are seen. But j'ackson .just moves along, flicking this ball past point or through the covers, and turning the next sweetly to leg with the grace o" a master. As a second line of defence, his legs arc always in a handy position, but it is refreshing to knovv that he intends to use his bat whenever possible. I am not going to compare him with the glorious Victor Trumper at this stage, but if a wealth of common cricket sense and ability is- an asset, then this boy's future is assured."
