Nigel Martyn Jerram MRCS LRCP (9 March 1900 - 19 December 1968) was an English first-class cricketer, medical doctor and Royal Air Force officer.
The son of Admiral Sir Thomas Henry Martyn Jerram,[1] he was born at Weymouth and was educated at Marlborough College.[2] After leaving Marlborough, he briefly served in the Hampshire Regiment as a second lieutenant, before studying medicine at the University of Cambridge and at St Thomas' Hospital.[3] He played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire in 1922 and 1923, making two appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[4] After graduating, he joined the Medical Branch of the Royal Air Force as a flying officer in October 1928. He was promoted to the rank of flight lieutenant in April 1930. He played first-class cricket for the Royal Air Force in 1930, making a single appearance against the Army at The Oval.[5] Batting twice in the match, Jerram was dismissed for a single run in the Royal Air Force first-innings by John Walford, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 9 runs by Frederick Arnold.[6] He was placed on the retired list in December 1932, on account of ill health.
