Paul Jackson kept wicket from 1981-94, winning plaudits for his glovework – “He was way up there with the best, top drawer”, insists Alan Lewis. He was 21 on debut, and played 87 games in all. His positioning and tidy glovework drew wide approval – he kept for 123 overs against Scotland in 1990 without conceding a bye. He took 103 catches and 30 stumpings. He was a useless batsman too, capping his Ireland record with an unbeaten 89 at Welshpool in 1987. He was captain that day, but his time at the helm was not successful, Ireland winning just one out of 25.
