A wicket-keeper, known for his "uncanny speed in effecting stumpings",[1] Jackman made his first-class debut for South Island against North Island in 1934–35, making one catch and four stumpings.[2] The next season, playing in the Plunket Shield for Canterbury against Wellington, he set a New Zealand record when he made seven stumpings in the match, six of them off the leg-spin of Bill Merritt.[3][4] The record still stood in 2021.[5] Later in 1935–36 he was selected for two of the four matches New Zealand played against the touring MCC.[6]
Jackman was educated at Christ's College, Christchurch,[7] and Canterbury College, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1928. He was admitted as a barrister and solicitor in December 1928.[8] He then studied accountancy in Christchurch, and qualified as an accountant in early 1933.[9] He married Cecil Vivian Addison McConnell in Auckland in September 1937.[10]
