writer C. L. R. James, in Beyond a Boundary, wrote of how the non-selection of the Trinidad-born Herman Griffith, who played for Barbados, rankled and "an unknown, a bowler at the Austin nets, had been chosen instead". James continued: "To us it seemed that here was another flagrant piece of class discrimination. But the unknown bowler was soon to make himself known and never to be forgotten." The "unknown" was Francis. The tour featured a mixture of first-class and other matches, and Francis' first appearance in a first-class game, the match against Sussex, was a sensation: he took four wickets for 50 in the Sussex first innings and then, when the county side was set just 99 to win the match, he took six for 33 to win the game for the West Indians by 26 runs. The Times said that Francis bowled "very fast". In his next match, Francis took five Hampshire first-innings wickets for 27, following up with two for 58 in the second innings. And in his third match, against Middlesex at Lord's, he returned figures of three for 86 and six for 34. The Times reported that "he was much too fast for most of the batsmen". Francis did not keep up this pace of wicket-taking, but he had another impressive match at the beginning of August against Surrey, when he followed five for 31 in the first innings with five for 45 in the second, and the West Indians won the match by 10 wickets; he also took three first-innings catches off the bowling of Snuffy Browne. In its report on this match, The Times provided a detailed description of Francis' bowling: He bowls fast and obviously scorns to conserve his strength. He is in a hurry to be at the batsman. He turns sharply to begin his run, jumps off at a great pace, throws up his arm high, and then makes a terrifying leap into the air—a leap which one feels should be accompanied by a yell. At the end of his over he snaps up the ball, if it is anywhere within reach, and passes it hurriedly to the colleague who is having at them at the other end. With it all, his length was under control, and for a time the batsmen could make nothing of him. Unusually, Francis also contributed significantly with the bat to this victory, making 41 out of a last-wicket partnership of 136 with the opening batsman, George Challenor, whose unbeaten 155 was more than half the West Indians' total of 306. Francis continued to take wickets through August, although he was "indisposed" for one match. The tour finished on a high note for him: during the last match at the Scarborough Festival against H. D. G. Leveson-Gower's XI, with the Leveson-Gower side requiring only 28 to win on the third morning, Francis and George John bowled for an hour and 20 minutes and took six wickets between for 19 runs before a seventh wicket partnership hit the runs off. The Times reported that "the bowling of Mr Francis and Mr John may be compared to that of those famous Australian bowlers, Mr Gregory and Mr Macdonald [sic], during their last tour in this country".
