He umpired in one Test Match, that between England and Australia atThe Oval onAugust 11 andAugust 12 , 1890.He did not become a regular in the Surrey side until 1868, and even after he had established himself his bowling figures were not especially good by the standards of the time. His best seasons were 1872 and 1873, when he took 60 wickets at an average of 15.11 and then 70 at 17.57.
