After ten consecutive matches he had only made 193 runs and was subsequently dropped from the side and went off to play League cricket for a period in mid- season, returning in the middle of July when he had slightly more success, scoring three fifties. Lancashire had a most successful year and won the County Championship for the fourth time in five seasons. Eddie finished with his best seasonal aggregate to date, 547 runs, although at the low average of 22.79. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 12.
