  <default_description>Considering what a prominent figure Mr John Bickersdyke was to be in Mike Jackson&amp;#8217;s life, it was only appropriate that he should make a dramatic entry into it. This he did by walking behind the bowler&amp;#8217;s arm when Mike had scored ninety-eight, causing him thereby to be clean bowled by a long-hop.</default_description>
