John 'Foghorn' Jackson — 8 for 20 for North v South, 1857
North vs South
1857-07-13
The Nottinghamshire fast bowler John Jackson, nicknamed 'Foghorn' for the loud nose-blow with which he marked every wicket, took eight for 20 for the North against the South in 1857 and confirmed his reputation as the most prominent fast bowler in England. Jackson would become the dominant pace bowler of the late 1850s and early 1860s and the foremost roundarm 'demon' before overarm was legalised.
