 Langridge developed in the late 1920s as a spin bowler of exceptional accuracy, but lacking in flight.When pitches became treacherous due to rain followed by sunshine, he could be difficult to play and, in six seasons between 1930 and 1937, he took 100 wickets, completing the all-rounder's double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets each time.He headed Sussex' bowling averages in 1933, 1935, 1937 and 1939, but unaccountably failed as a bowler in the wet summers of 1936 and 1938.
