He played his cricket for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and played 23 test matches for England, captaining them in 7 games, with a record of won 5, lost 2. He was the Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1890.
He retired from cricket in 1902, and shot himself whilst staying at his sister's the next year following a bout of depression when he incorrectly believed himself to be suffering from an incurable disease.
