Humphries made an unbeaten 41 in his first innings on debut, though Lancashire won the game in two days by a huge margin, at Worcester.[1] He made 44 — his career best — in his second match, against Cambridge University,[2] and 43* versus Nottinghamshire at Worksop in July,[3] but these were the only innings of his career in which he reached 40.[4]

Two of his brothers, Gerald and Norman, also played briefly for Worcestershire.
