His 188 (7 6s, 16 4s) in 23/4 hours against the eventual runaway champions Yorkshire was one of his truly great innings. Facing Hedley Verity for the first time he despatched him for five of those sixes. Although he scored well in the First Test, he was dropped for the subsequent games to make way for younger players. But no doubt he prompted the selectors with a magnificent, if not chanceless, 224 (5 6s, 21 4s) against the New Zealand tourists for Kent. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 727.
