I'm not sure he knew how to - according to cricinfo in his debut county game he came in on a hat-trick, came down the pitch to a seamer and clubbed it for 4!

Fred's undoubtedly the better batter - Jessop was, primarily, a seam bowler.

Name this man, who was "probably the greatest allrounder of his or any generation",
"a brilliant scholar and an accomplished performer in almost every branch of outdoor sport" and came within 10,000 pounds of becoming King of Albania?

Well done Sir! A box of speculaas cookies and a bottle of Jenever is in the post!

I wonder. If he had become King of Albania - would they now be top of the ICC test rankings?
