59 correspondingly better results. Eight batsmen made over a hundred runs: the main scorers were Babb (450), Barnfield (344) and Watts (350). This season was the conclusion of a period of mixed fortunes. It was predominantly an era of batting, with Mason, Rothwell, Phillips, Babb and MS Jones leading the way. The bowling generally lacked penetration. Walters was probably the outstanding bowler; Hornig and Page bowled steadily and carried the attack for much of this period. For Page, the best was yet to come.
