He scored four half centuries, against Durham, Sussex (where he scored 50 and 46), Nottinghamshire and in the Varsity Match against Cambridge University, where he scored 78 in the first innings, with a stand of 103 between him and captain Mark Wagh.

He was appointed captain in 1998, playing in all the team's eight first-class matches, scoring 180 runs at an average of 16.36, with his highest score (and only half-century) 78 against Yorkshire.

In 2015 he became Master in College at Eton College.
