‘You told me you have something to prove? Do it!’ the soldier directed at Jackson.
In an interview with news.com.au last year, Jackson revealed that during his childhood he felt immense pressure to follow in his father’s footsteps.
‘I played [cricket] one year when I was at school, and in one of the games it got in the newspaper and made some articles,’ he said.

‘The whole pressure factor… I could never be that good, I could never try to be that good.’
Regardless of whether he had talent or not, Jackson added that he had no desire to get into cricket.
‘The pressure and expectations… I just was not really interested. But when we were going through school, it didn’t matter what we wanted to do, dad just wanted us to be happy.’
