He tore a thigh muscle while batting at Attleborough, and missed almost two months’ cricket; then he went down with acute appendicitis during the Leeds Test, and played no more. In between, he played one of his best innings in county cricket, carrying his bat against Yorkshire for 172 in 220 minutes.
