Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "James M Jones, known as Jimmy Jones, played first-class cricket for Somerset and Glamorgan in the 1920s. He also appeared in first-class cricket matches for the Wales team. Though his cricket career is well documented, very few personal details about him are known: his birthdate, birthplace and the date and place of his death are all unknown. Jones was a left-handed lower- or middle-order batsman and a wicketkeeper. He appeared for Somerset in a single match in the 1922 season, and then became a regular player as a professional for the first two-thirds of the 1923 season, though he kept wicket only when amateur players, in particular Dar Lyon were not available. In addition to occasionally keeping wicket, Jones often made useful runs. In the match against Gloucestershire at Taunton he batted at No 7 and top-scored in the first innings with 70, which was his highest score for Somerset. He batted at No 3 in other matches and from there he made 50 in the match against Worcestershire at Kidderminster.Jones moved to Wales and played cricket for Gowerton Cricket Club while qualifying for Glamorgan. He played as a middle-order batsman and wicketkeeper in eight matches in 1928 and 1929, and against Essex at Leyton in 1928, scored 57 and 75, the second innings being the highest of his first-class career. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in its review of Glamorgan's 1928 season expressed the view that \"Jones may become the regular stumper\". But early in the 1929 season Jones lost his place in the side to Trevor Every and he never regained it. He played two first-class matches for the Wales side in 1929, but then played local cricket in South Wales before becoming coach at Denstone College and later a publican in Staffordshire."@en }
