However, midway through the 1859 season he bowled for the first time and took 7 for 61 against a strong North of England side. He bowled little more than year and in 1860, but in 1861 took 26 wickets at 16.38, including 6 for 78 and 6 for 49, remarkably in separate matches against North of England - 22 of his 48 career wickets came against them.
