  Jack Russell (essex Cricketer)
Jack Russell (in full '''Charles Albert George Russell''' and erroneously written during his playing career as '''Albert Charles Russell'''; born October 7, 1887, Leyton, Essex, England ; died March 23, 1961, Whipps Cross, Leytonstone, Essex, England) was one of the leading batsmen in county cricket during the period after World War I.
That winter, Russell went to South Africa and on the biting matting pitches achieved his finest performance with 436 runs for an average of almost 63.
Nonetheless, in 1925 Russell his seven centuries and scored 2080 runs, whilst in 1928 he scored 131 and 104 against Lancashire, who were County Champions for the third successive year that season.

Always a sporty type, Robert Charles "Jack" Russell (he gained the nickname for scampering between the wickets) gained the support he needed to become a first class cricketer from his father John at Stroud Cricket Club, and at Archway School, Stroud under the tutelage of sports master Ricky Rutter.
Jack Russell was on the wrong end of many controversial Test selections, frequently being passed over in favour of Alec Stewart on account of his superior batting ability.
Jack was never seen as a true team player, a perception reinforced by his being a loner off the field, his indulgence of his hobby of water colour painting, and his protective attitude to his family life.

 Jack Russell (cricketer and artist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Charles "Jack" Russell (born 15 August 1963 in Stroud, Gloucestershire), is a retired English international Cricketer, now as well known for his abilities as an artist.
Russell had achieved something only one other Englishman had this century, Billy Griffith against West Indies in 1947-48 - but it was lost in the furor of the South African debacle, and the loss of the series.
The summer of 1989 gave Russell a run in the England side, but his batting never reached such scoring heights again, and the game was moving forward in a new era of revolving score boards - a 6 hour stand for 29 was not what was required, however good you were behind the stumps.

 Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Jack Russell
Charles Albert George "Jack" Russell, who died in Whipps Cross Hospital on March 23, aged 73, was the first English batsman to hit a century in each innings of a Test match.
The performance was the more remarkable because Jack Russell, as he was generally known, had,Wisden recorded at the time, to battle against illness; when he started his second innings he ought to have been in bed rather than on the cricket field.
Russell played ten times for England, scoring 135 not out in his first against Australia at Adelaide in 1920; 101 at Manchester and 102 not out at The Oval during the disastrous Test series of 1921.

CLIVE Lloyd, who was West Indies captain when Courtney Walsh made his entry into Test cricket against Australia at Perth in 1984, hopes he will not be lost to the game in the Caribbean.
Jack Russell, the former England wicketkeeper, with whom Walsh formed a friendship during his 14 years at Gloucestershire, described him "the greatest fast bowler Gloucestershire have ever had".
Many of Russell's over 1,000 catches behind the stumps in first-class cricket, he owes to Walsh.

 Jack Russell (gloucestershire Cricketer)
Best known for hiding under his floppy hat, Jack Russell was on the sharp end of many erratic Test selections, frequently being passed over in favour of Alec Stewart on account of his superior batting ability.
He could also be a unorthodox but resolute lower-order batsman - his unbeaten 29 in 277 minutes at Johannesburg in 1995-96 is often forgotten, an innings which, along with that of Michael Atherton saved the Test.
An eccentric, Russell was never seen as a team player, preferring to indulge in his hobby of water colour painting.

 Old-fashioned air lingers around Stewart
As befits an international cricketer at the dawn of the 21st century, Stewart is dedicated to physical fitness and has embraced both the five-day and one-day forms of the game with equal facility.
Yet his values are rooted in the old English game when social circumstances dictated that the professionals performed their allotted roles and kept their complaints to themselves.
Instead, he was shunted throughout the order when the selectors decided they could afford to play a specialist wicketkeeper, usually Jack Russell who was rated in England, at least, as the superior custodian.
