He did not play in the first of the two matches against New Zealand, but in the second he took 7 for 71 in the first innings, bowling with good length and direction and use of the yorker. Six of his victims were bowled. Dan Reese, the New Zealand captain, later recalled that few of the New Zealand batsmen were able to handle his pace and lift. He moved to Melbourne in 1910. In October, in his first match for South Melbourne, he yorked the Melbourne opening batsman Frederick Vaughan with the first ball of the match, breaking the middle stump in two, and took five wickets, all bowled, including Vernon Ransford, victim of another yorker. He was immediately selected to play for Victoria, but in his first match, against the touring South Africans in November, he injured his shoulder. A few weeks later in December he suffered a severe attack of rheumatism and spent time in hospital. He not only missed the rest of the season, but was never quite the same bowler thereafter. He returned to cricket in 1911-12 and continued to play for South Melbourne until 1915. He played three more matches for Victoria, two of them against Tasmania. In the first, batting at number 10, he went to the wicket with the score at 8 for 61 and made 74, adding 146 for the ninth wicket with Tom Warne. Against Western Australia in 1912-13 he took six wickets and made 77, his highest first-class score. He returned to Tasmania and played one final match for the state in 1922-23, still opening the bowling at the age of 36. Victoria made a world record score of 1059, and Facy took 2 for 228 off 38 eight-ball overs. In 1926 he was granted a liquor licence for the yacht club at Bellerive. In 1931, described as a "storekeeper of Bellerive", he faced bankruptcy proceedings. He and his wife Ada had a son and a daughter. When he died in 1954 his age was given as 64.
