'''John Alexander Jameson''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|MBE}} (born 30 June 1941)<ref name="Cap">{{cite book |title=If The Cap Fits |last=Bateman |first=Colin |year=1993 |publisher=Tony Williams Publications |isbn=1-869833-21-X |page=[https://archive.org/details/ifcapfits0000unse/page/99 99] |url=https://archive.org/details/ifcapfits0000unse/page/99 }}</ref> is a former English [[cricket]]er who played in four [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and three [[One Day International]]s for the [[England cricket team]] between 1971 and 1975. Jameson played for [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club]] from 1960 until 1976.

Primarily a hard-hitting top-order batsman, Jameson was also a useful occasional offspin or medium-pace bowler. A capable slip fielder, he occasionally kept wicket. On one occasion, Jameson was a member of a Warwickshire team which boasted three international wicket-keepers, but he had to keep wicket nonetheless: [[Deryck Murray]] was injured, [[Rohan Kanhai]] had given up keeping, and [[Alan Smith (cricketer)|A.C. Smith]] had been selected for his bowling.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/iccct2009/engine/match/415285.html?view=commentary Australia v England, Champions Trophy SF 2009, Commentary]</ref>

Cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, noted, "Born into the era of [[Geoffrey Boycott|Boycott]], [[John Edrich|Edrich]] and [[Dennis Amiss|Amiss]], John Jameson had precious few opportunities to break into Test cricket. A brave, attacking opener who was at his best trying to hammer fast bowling out of the ground, he played a couple of Tests in 1971 but did not help his cause by being run out in three of his first four innings".<ref name="Cap"/> He is unique in being the only England cricketer to be run out in both innings of a Test match. In addition, he is the only Test cricketer ever to be similarly dismissed in three successive Test innings.<ref name="Beard">{{cite book |title=Ask Bearders |last=Frindall |first=Bill |author-link=Bill Frindall |year=2009 |publisher=[[BBC Books]]|isbn=978-1-84607-880-4 |pages=35–36 }}</ref>

Jameson was diagnosed as [[Diabetes mellitus type 2]] in 2004.

==Early life and career==
Jameson made his Test debut against [[India cricket team|India]] in 1971,<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/31/31912.html England v India, 2nd Test, 1971]</ref> scoring 82 in his second Test.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/31/31968.html England v India, 3rd Test, 1971]</ref> His only Test tour was the West Indies tour of 1973–74, on which he was selected for one One Day International and two Tests, without personal success with the bat.<ref name="Cap"/> He also played two ODIs during the [[1975 Cricket World Cup]].

Jameson scored 240 not out, his highest first-class score, against [[Gloucestershire County Cricket Club|Gloucestershire]] at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]] in 1974, sharing with Kanhai (who scored 213 not out) an unbeaten second wicket partnership of 465, which remains a record for the second wicket in County cricket.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/34/34513.html Warwickshire v Gloucestershire, 1974]</ref>

His brother [[Thomas Jameson (cricketer, born 1946)|Thomas Jameson]] appeared for Warwickshire and [[Cambridge University Cricket Club|Cambridge University]] in 1970.

==Later career==
Being born in the sub continent, Jameson always took a special interest in South Asian cricket. He visited [[Bangladesh]] twice with [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] (MCC) sides, first in 1978–79 and again in 1980–81. He became an instant hit with the cricket lovers of [[Dhaka]], not so much for his cricket, but more for his rather bulky figure. Later on he served [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]] cricket as a coach and helped in the early development of cricket in Bangladesh.

Jameson was a first-class [[Umpire (cricket)|umpire]] between 1984 and 1987, as well as working as a pitch inspector for the [[England and Wales Cricket Board|ECB]]. He is well known for his expertise on the laws of cricket, being called before the [[Daryll Hair]] tribunal in 2007 as an expert witness.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/313549.html Cricinfo: Reverse swinging in the court]</ref>

He coached at [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]], and was appointed MCC cricket secretary in 1989.<ref name="Cap"/> Jameson was appointed [[Member of the Order of the British Empire]] (MBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to cricket.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=59282 |date=31 December 2009 |page=18 |supp=y }}</ref>
