Buss made a single first-class appearance for Surrey against Oxford University in 1934 at The Oval.^[1] Surrey won the toss and elected to bat first, making 483 all out, with Buss scoring 42 runs before he was dismissed by Richard Tindall. Oxford University then made 305 all out in their first-innings, with Buss taking the wickets of Gerry Chalk and Tindall, finishing the innings with figures of 2/90.
