 A tall round arm bowler who could generate movement off the pitch, he proved an effective opening bowler.In his first match against Victoria, he opened the bowling, taking 4/23 off 11 overs, and in the second innings, he combined with opening partner, Robert McDowall to skittle out the Victorians for a paltry 50 off 18 overs.Still claimed 3/24 off 9 overs, and McDowall took 5/23 off 9.
