Huxford was a consistent pace bowler throughout his career, but he never excelled the figures he achieved in his first two matches. On his first-class debut in January 1965 he took 7 for 95 in the first innings for Wellington against the touring Pakistan team.[1] In his next match a week later, his first in the Plunket Shield, he took 6 for 38 in the first innings against Auckland.[2]
