John Harry Hampshire (born February 10 1941 Thurnscoe, Yorkshire), better known as Jackie Hampshire, was an English cricketer who played only a handful of Tests and ODI's for England. He also played first-class cricket for 20 years for Yorkshire and then, after leaving during one of the county's perennial bouts of civil war, for Derbyshire. Overseas, he was a successful captain of Tasmania in the period before the state was included in the Sheffield Shield. After the ousting of Geoff Boycott from the Yorkshire captaincy he captained the club for two seasons (1979-80) and at one point staged a 'go-slow' at Northampton - which cost Yorkshire a bonus point - as a protest against slow batting by his long time rival. He played for a Leicestershire team as a guest in Zimbabwe.

Playing career

A powerful stroke maker in the middle order, especially strong off the front foot, 'Jack' scored 28,059 runs in 577 first class matches at 34.55 with a highest score of 183*. He added another 7314 runs in 280 one day matches with a best of 119 at 31.12. He was a brave close fielder who took 444 catches in his first class career. Initially he was seen as potentially useful leg spinner taking 7 for 52 against Glamorgan in 1963.

He was a surprise choice for the 1969 Test side having made only fourteen centuries in eight seasons [Wisden 1970 - Test Report] . On his debut against the West Indies at Lord's, he made a dashing 107 and he appeared set for a glittering Test career. He was the first Englishman to score a Test hundred on debut at Lord's. Strangely he was dropped after the next match, and faded away from the Test arena, making just half-a-dozen more Test appearances for England.

Umpiring career

After retiring from the playing arena, Hampshire became a county umpire in 1985. He was then appointed to the Test list in 1989, and later in 1999 he was added to the ICC panel of umpires. He remained a highly respected umpire on the first class circuit until his retirement in 1985. He umpired the final of the last Benson and Hedges Cup competition in 2002 with Barry Dudleston, 30 years after having played against Dudleston in the first final held in 1972.
