Langdon was a middle-order batsman and medium-pace bowler. For 33 years he held the record for best bowling in an innings by a Northern Districts player in first-class cricket. Against Auckland in January 1964, he claimed 8/21.[1] This surpassed Gren Alabaster's mark of 8/30 of less than a year before, and stood until Alex Tait took 9/48 — also against Auckland — in February 1997.[2]
