He was never stumped, nor did he ever hit his wicket. His percentage of dismissals lbw is not high by modern standards, but is high for a player who played much of his cricket before the Great War. The bowler who took his wicket most often was Bill Hitch, four times: eight bowlers dismissed him three times.
