His 185 (one 6, 24 4s) in the remarkable 235 10th wicket partnership with Arthur Fielder against Worcestershire, then a world record, still the English record, was his individual best performance of the season. His good all-round form attracted the attention of the Test selectors and he made his debut in the final Test. Although he made no particular impact his promise earned him the winter trip to South Africa. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 74.
