Digby Loder Armroid Jephson (23 February 1871 - 19 January 1926) was a cricketer who played for Cambridge University and Surrey.
Jephson was a right-handed middle order batsman.
But his enduring fame rests on his reputation as one of the last lob bowlers, bowling slow right-arm underarm lobs.
His action was described as a little like setting a wood in crown green bowling.
In fact, he started as an overarm right-handed fast bowler, but switched to lobs with great success when he took up regular county cricket in the late 1890s.
