Primarily a hard-hitting top-order batsman, Jameson was also a useful occasional off-spin or medium-pace bowler.
On one occasion, Jameson was a member of a Warwickshire team that boasted three international wicket-keepers, but he had to keep wicket nonetheless: Deryck Murray was injured, Rohan Kanhai had given up keeping, and A.C. Smith had been selected for his bowling.
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".
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.
[1] Jameson was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to cricket.
