Bailey was born at Camberwell in London in 1923.[2] He served in the Royal Navy and made all three of his first-class appearances for Kent during July 1948. Kent were searching for a replacement for Norman Harding, an established fast bowler who had died in the 1947 polio epidemic after the end of the previous season and Bailey, a right-arm bowler, was tried in the team.[3] He opened the bowling in each of his three matches, but took only two wickets. In his five first-class innings he failed to score a run. He made a single appearance for the county's Second XI in August 1948, taking six wickets, and played several times for the Royal Navy cricket team between 1948 and 1953.[1]
Bailey died in 1990 at Sissinghurst near Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He was aged 67.[2]
