Unable to muster support from people in Kent (the focus of Jack Cade's rebellion of 1450), they were soundly beaten by the King's forces.
His ability to relish the challenge of bowling to batsmen who were capable of hitting large scores very rapidly was well-known, and frequently Blythe's skill rewarded him: his duel with Jack Hobbs at Blackheath in 1908 is regarded as some of the highest-standard county cricket ever played.
In late 1908, Blythe's amazingly imaginative skill reached perhaps its highest point ever: in a period of hot weather and dry pitches Blythe, without the aid of Fielder, still won match after match: he showed that, no matter how well set a batsman looked, he was capable of deceiving them and gaining vital wickets.
