Davidson made 274 against Lancashire at Manchester which remains the Derbyshire individual batting record. In the same innings Chatterton and Storer also scored centuries. Against Yorkshire Storer hit centuries in each innings—a feat performed previously only by W. G. Grace, A. E. Stoddart and George Brann, giving him a season's batting average of over 57.
