He had by far his most successful championship, hitting thirteen 50s but scored only one century and a ninety on one other occasion. He played in two matches against the Pakistan tourists but only made one inings over thirty, disappointing by his own high standards. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 146.
