He was part of Great Britain's gold medal winning cricket team at the1900 Summer Olympics , the only time cricket has featured at the Olympics. He did not play much of a part in the only match against France as he was not out for zero in the first innings and didn't bat in the second, nor did he bowl or take a catch. Nothing is known of his career outside the Olympics.References
