He had one great match against Somerset at Bristol in August when he had analyses of 8 for 48 and 4 for 96 but Wisden describes his form for the season as a whole as “moderate”. Dennett took forty-seven more wickets than Parker although he did bowl in seven more innings. In one of the rare dry summers, pitches seldom suited either bowler. Two innings approaching 600 were conceded. As a batsman, Parker scored 239 runs in twenty-seven innings at an average of 13.27 and he held twelve catches. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 71.
