As of 2009, he still holds the Warwickshire batting record for the fourth wicket: a stand of 470 with Alvin Kallicharran against Lancashire at Southport in 1982, of which Humpage contributed 254, match Warwickshire lost by ten wickets.[1] He went on the rebel tour to South Africa in 1981–82, which effectively ended his international career after just three ODIs. He was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1985.
