Delicate Boy.
What a contrast there is between Bradman and Jackson! Jackson, though a year younger than Brad man, is years older in poke. He is a delicate boy who has given cricket enthusiasts many anxious moments.
He is a bundle of nerves, and his friends fear that, like Victor Trum per, be has a weak chest. A tremen dous batting responsibility will rest on him in the 1930 Tests.

Fairfax bubbles with youth; he is an optimist and enthusiast whose Lobby is cricket, and yet fhore cricket. He is not a good bat.
