Huish played over 450 times for Kent and was part of the sides which won four County championship titles in the Golden Age of cricket leading up to the war.
[8][9] Huish is generally considered the first in a line of great Kent wicket-keepers including the likes of Ames, Godfrey Evans and Alan Knott.
[2][10][11] He kept Jack Hubble, who succeeded Huish behind the stumps after World War I, out of the wicket-keeper role in the Kent side.
[10] Despite his record-breaking career he was never chosen as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year[5] and was never called into the England side, although he is often considered unlucky not to have played internationally.
[2][12] In August 1911 Huish made ten dismissals in a single match against Surrey at The Oval,[2] a Kent record he holds jointly with Hubble.
