He did increase his seasonal aggregate marginally scoring three centuries although the first of these was not until mid August. These included his first double century, 208 not out at Northampton, a splendid innings in which he hit one six and twenty three fours. Lancashire slipped to fourth in the Championship and only won twelve of their twenty eight games. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 175.
