Career
Ferguson was a right-handed middle order batsman. He first appeared for Argentina as a 17-year-old in three matches against Sir Julien Cahn"s XI in early 1930: though his highest score was only 22, he averaged almost 17 runs an innings. On the 1932 tour, he played in all six first-class matches and had success in the first and the last.
Against Oxford University he made 85 with a five and 11 fours, and added 159 in 130 minutes with Henry Marshal, who made 153.
That score was to prove his career highest in first-class matches, but he also passed 50 in the final match, against Scotland, when his 60 was the top score in the match for the South American team On the tour as a whole, he made 264 runs at an average of 24 in the first-class games, and 484 runs, average 25.47, in all matches, with a highest of 95.
His final three first-class matches were in the 1937-1938 season for Argentina against Sir Theodore Brinckman"s XI, a touring team of English county cricketers led by R. East. South. Wyatt. He had limited success in these matches, with a highest score of just 36.
In non-first-class cricket, Ferguson represented Argentina against a touring Master Control Console as late as 1959, and he represented South of Argentina against North of Argentina in the annual match most years between the 1929-1930 season and the 1965-1966 season.
