He had an analysis of 9-39 against Essex at Leyton but he also had 7-38 against Nottinghamshire at Bramall Lane, 5-46 against Kent again at Bramall Lane and 5-34 against Surrey at Leeds. In all he bowled over a thousand overs, some feat when given his age. At the close of the season he was picked to go to the West Indies as senior professional in the second English team, the other was playing in New Zealand, and returned for the final time to Test cricket.
