He played for Victoria for 10 years from 1903 to 1914, and was rated as steady rather than spectacular. He toured England in 1909 as the second wicketkeeper to [[Sammy Carter]] and returned in 1912 as first choice on the tour that was blighted by the dispute between Australia's leading Test players and the [[Cricket Australia\|Australian Board of Control]] and the consequent unavailability of many players. It was on this tour that he played his six [[Test cricket\|Test matches]], three each against England and [[South ~~African~~Africa national cricket team\|South Africa]] in the [[1912 Triangular Tournament\|Triangular Tournament]]. He scored only 16 runs and took just six catches.▼ ~~He played for Victoria for 10 years from 1903–14, and was rated as steady rather than spectacular.~~ He toured England in 1909 as the second wicketkeeper to [[Sammy Carter]] and came back in 1912 as first choice on the tour that was blighted by the dispute between Australia's leading Test players and the [[Cricket Australia\|Australian Board of Control]]. ▲It was on this tour that he played his six [[Test cricket\|Test matches]], three each against England and [[South African cricket team\|South Africa]] in the [[1912 Triangular Tournament\|Triangular Tournament]].
