A successful all-rounder, Dowson scored over a thousand runs and 99 wickets in the 1901 season; a thousand runs and 76 wickets the following year, and another thousand runs and 42 wickets in 1903.[3] He also took 80 wickets during a single tour of the West Indies in the winter of 1901–02.[4]
His first-class career ended in 1903 with the final match of the 1903 County Championship, however Dowson was invited back by the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1913 to play his final first-class game when the MCC played Cambridge University at Lord's.[5] Dowson was living at Hele House in Ashburton, Devon when he died aged 53.
