Alfred Jackson

Alfred Louis Stewart Jackson (28 February 1904 – 23 July 1982) was an Argentine and Chilean cricketer. A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played for both Chile and Argentina, and also played first-class cricket for a combined South America side and for Argentina. His elder brother John played for Somerset as well as the Chilean national cricket team.

Playing career

Jackson played one match for Chile, a three-day match against Argentina in 1925. Opening the batting with his brother, he scored 109 in the Chile first innings, but this was not enough to prevent Argentina winning by 320 runs.

He eventually moved to Argentina and played his first North v South match there in February 1932, a fixture he would play in nine times in total. He topped the batting averages on the tour, and his innings of 78 against Julien Cahn's XI the second of which saw Jackson playing against his brother John, who was playing for Chile.
