Ken Biddulph was a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a tail-end right-handed batsman. Colin McCool, who played alongside Biddulph on the Somerset side of the late 1950s, was not complimentary about Biddulph's abilities as an opening bowler in his ghosted book Cricket is a Game (1960), though Biddulph took a total of 162 wickets over the 1959 and 1960 seasons.
