He played in all six Tests of the Tournament with notable success as a bowler against Australia at The Oval where his ten wickets in the match were decisive in winning the match and the competition. As a batsman it was a season of consistent rather than big scoring. He made only one hundred in the Championship but Wisden felt able to admit his defence was stronger than in previous seasons.
