[5] Wisden Cricketers' Almanack commented in its 1906 edition that he "showed capital form on many occasions", though it added that he was inclined to be a slow scorer.
[6] Baker remained as a regular member of the Warwickshire first team right up to the First World War, and including the surprise County Championship triumph of 1911.
[5] He headed Warwickshire's averages in the wet summer of 1907 and Wisden noted that he was "now quite one of the best left handed batsmen in the country"; it added that "he at times erred on the side of over-caution, but he proved on several occasions the possession of ability to hit very hard indeed".
[5] The runs in 1910 included an unbeaten innings of 155 in the match against Worcestershire, made out of a total of 292, and this proved to be highest score of his first-class career.
[8] Baker's part in Warwickshire's unexpected Championship victory in 1911 was a modest one, for he scored only 665 runs and was left out of the side for some matches in mid-season.
