Finlayson made his debut for Wellington on 26 March 1910 against Hawke's Bay. He went on to play three other first class matches for Wellington, including one against Australia in 1921. On 24 March 1928 Finlayson played for New Zealand against Australia at Eden Park.[2] Because New Zealand did not have test status at the time the three day match only has first class status. Finlayson later played two first class games for Auckland, once against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club and once against Wellington in a 1931 Plunket Shield match.
