With innings such as his 152 against Northamptonshire scored in a partnership of 296 at 90 runs per hour, Wisden could still feel justified with its earlier prediction on his batting prowess. His bowling showed a marked improvement as he found a regular place in the attack in the second half of the season. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 44.
