Nevertheless he continued to stand above his Kent batting colleagues, improving his county aggregate and average on 1929. A broken finger in the last Championship match denied him the bonus of runs at the end of season festivals. The revival in his bowling was not maintained. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 698.
