Sir Len Hutton said that Jacques had the finest fast bowling action he had ever seen, but what might have been a famous career was curtailed by injury. Jacques made his debut for Yorkshire in 1927 as an amateur and, after only six matches, was picked for a test trial at Lord's in which he took 4 for 53. He generated high pace and was able to maintain his accuracy and penetration over long spells.
