He shared a stand of 243 with Bradman, who scored 232, and Australia won the Test by an innings and 39 runs to regain The Ashes. Overall, Jackson's tour was modest, scoring 1,097 runs at an average of 34.28 with only one hundred, made against Somerset. "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack", in its report on the 1930 Australians, described Jackson as the "... great disappointment of the team ... with well-deserved reputation for grace of style ... at no time did people in England see the real Jackson."
