Although playing in all five Test matches he had an extremely disappointing tour and took only two wickets in the Tests. Perhaps the matting wickets did not suit him. Naturally his batting took the forefront and he made over five hundred runs in first-class matches on the tour. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 460.
