Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Bird is more preferred in the longest format of the game unlike the modern day bowlers. He has played more first-class than the limited-overs formats. As he grabbed over 100 wickets in just about 20 odd matches, the Australian selectors were convinced that he is good enough to represent the country at the highest level and gave him a place in Australia's Test squad against Sri Lanka as they decided to rest Mitchell Starc.
Eventually, he made his Test debut at Melbourne against the Islanders in 2012, just over a year from making his first-class debut. He was given the last two Tests in the series and did well picking up 11 wickets overall, including a 4-wicket haul in the last match.
He was also given a ticket to tour with the side to England for the 2013 Ashes series but did not get opportunities as the likes of Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle were hard to be ignored. However, he made his only appearance at Durham in the 4th Test but failed to grab eyeballs and did not pick up many wickets.
In the Big Bash League though, he represents the Melbourne Stars since 2012 and has done fairly well. In the 2013/14 edition, he picked up 13 wickets to be the joint-leading wicket-taker for the side.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A fast bowler who moved from New South Wales to Tasmania in order to break in to first-class cricket, Jackson Bird quickly rewarded his new side with a fantastic debut season in 2011-12. He collected 53 Sheffield Shield wickets at an average of 16.00, topping the tournament tally, and he was a key factor in Tasmania reaching the final. Bird was also named the Sheffield Shield Player of the Year, making his decision to move south from the Manly-Warringah club in Sydney's grade competition to Tasmania appear a brilliant one. Bird does not bowl at express pace but he constantly attacks the stumps, and this accuracy combined with just enough swing and seam movement has made him a very dangerous proposition at Shield level.
Bird earned an Australia A call-up for the 2012 tour of England and won a promotion to the national squad for the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka later the same year after starting the 2012-13 Shield season in excellent form again. He was Man of the Match in his second Test against Sri Lanka in Sydney, but played only one Test on the 2013 Ashes tour before being dropped. However, a recall came for the 2016 Test tour of New Zealand, where the selectors believed his ability to move the ball would compensate for his lack of express pace. He struggled in the first Test in Wellington but in the second match in Christchurch he was pivotal in Australia's win, collecting five second-innings wickets and seven for the Test. He would play four more Tests over the next 18 months, but none in 2018. He dominated the 2018-19 Sheffield Shield season for Tasmania taking 50 wickets at 22.22, with two 10-wicket hauls, to keep himself in the frame.
Away from the game, Bird studied a Bachelor of Business, specialising in marketing. His father kept tabs on Bird's cricket career by watching live streaming of matches from Romania, where he worked as a grip in the film industry.
