by this time constantine bowled generally at medium pace from a short run-up. to compensate for his reduced pace he mixed up his bowling style, spinning the ball and bowling at speeds varying from slow to very fast. he bowled more overs than any other member of the team, and was the side's leading wicket-taker with 103 wickets in the season. his bowling average of 17.77 placed him first in the team's bowling averages and seventh in the english national averages. with the bat, constantine scored 614 runs at 21.17; preston wrote that constantine "often electrified onlookers with his almost impudent zest for runs". his highest innings came in the final test match when he scored 79 in an hour and hit 11 fours. "wisden" commented: "constantine, in the mood suggesting his work in saturday afternoon league cricket, brought a welcome air of gaiety to the test arena. he revolutionised all the recognised features of cricket and, surpass[ed] bradman in his amazing stroke play." for his all-round performances during the season he was chosen as one of "wisden's" cricketers of the year.
