He only appeared in eight first-class games throughout the season and accomplished very little. His best bowling performances were 7-103 in the first innings of the Sussex v M.C.C. match at T.Box’s ground at Hove. He also batted very well in this match making scores of 45 and 66; this proved to be his last score of 50 in first-class cricket. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 171.
