editAbraham's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He made one appearance in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of England against Cambridge University in 1870 at Fenner's, Cambridge.[3] He batted twice in the match, scoring 9 runs in the Gentlemen's first-innings, before he was dismissed by Walter Money, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a duck by the same bowler. He also bowled a total of 22 overs across the match, which ended in a draw, despite the Gentlemen being asked to follow-on.[4]
