This time he was determined not to fail and scored four fifties in the five match series against India. In the first match he joined his captain, P.B.H.May, at the wicket and scored 56. A total of 2499 runs in the season at an average of over 54 saw him finish fourth in the national batting averages. Surrey surrended the Championship to Yorkshire, finishing third in an exciting season. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 176.
