scored over 2,000 runs in 1902. In 1903 Wisden named him as one of the five Cricketers of the Year. He made 102 consecutive County Championship appearances for Kent between 1899 and 1903, becoming the first man to play in over 100 consecutive Championship matches for the county. He captained Kent for one season in 1903, taking over from Jack Mason who had resigned as captain at the end of the previous season. Burnup played an important role in Kent's first County Championship winning campaign in 1906, leading the domestic first-class batting averages, scoring 1,207 runs at 67.05 despite playing in only 13 matches during the season. He was described by The Guardian as "essentially a sound, steady batsman" who contrasted with the flamboyant Kenneth Hutchings, Kent's leading run scorer of the season. He took part in tours to Holland, America and Australia and New Zealand during his career. Burnup appears in the record books as the only first-class bowler to have 10 runs scored off one ball. This happened when he was playing for MCC against Derbyshire in 1900 during a short-lived trial system where a net was placed around the playing surface. The runs were scored by Samuel Hill Wood. Later life Burnup was a stockbroker and businessman in London. He died at North End, Golders Green, Middlesex at the age of 84 in 1960.
