Wisden commented that he seldom seemed to be quite at the top of his game. He carried his bat in two representative games, scoring 154 in three and a quarter hours in a vain bid to carry the Players to a victory at Lord’s, and making 117 out of 190 against a very strong team selected by Lord Londesborough at Scarborough.
