The cost per wicket had risen to 32.06 and the strike rate to 73.29, but it was a fine effort from a man who was now a veteran. Seven times, in all matches, he took five wickets or more in an innings with a season’s best of 7 for 64 against Somerset at Bath. How often had he reserved his very best efforts for these opponents? As a batsman he scored 238 runs at an average of 8.20 and he took seven catches. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 579.
