A highlight of the Essex season was the victory over the touring Australians by six wickets at Southend-on-Sea. Bailey scored five half centuries, highest score 72 not out against Surrey, and took five wickets or more in an innings on three occasions, his best bowling being 6-38 against Somerset at Westcliff-on-Sea.

Towards the end of the season he was selected to play for an England XI against Sir Frank Worrell’s West Indian XI at both Scarborough and Lord’s. His highest score of the season, (89), was made in another representative game, MCC against Cambridge University. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 582.
