With England call ups and injuries sustained by other bowlers, Hamilton flourished taking 40 wickets at an average of 21.65. In addition he also scored a maiden first class century of 125 against Hampshire. In the one-day format Gavin regularly turned in useful performances with the bat and ball, and took 30 wickets at an average of 16.30. If he can maintain his all round form this coming summer he should be a strong contender for the English one-day squad.
