He was right-handed as a bowler and a fielder but he batted left-handed.
According to Scores and Biographies, he was a "steady and scientific" batsman who was rated one of the "cracks" of his day in a relatively short career.
In 1820 he moved from Thursley to Godalming where he followed the almost traditional cricketing trade of innkeeper.
Later he became a bailiff and then a steward when he moved to East Clandon.
His elder brother Richard (born October 1789 at Lurgashall in Sussex) played three matches for Sussex between 1823 and 1825.
