Payne was a good batsman who was described as a "very steady forward player ... being a good hitter".[4] He scored 13 runs from one ball in a club match at Tunbridge Wells in 1863 and in 1866 scored Kent's first century at the Bat and Ball Ground in Gravesend, carrying his bat for 135 not out against Surrey.[1][5] The following year he hit his highest first-class score of 137 for Sussex against MCC.[1][2] He was also described as "a splendid field at short-leg" and played first-class matches for England teams and the South of England.[1]

Payne stood as an umpire in matches after his retirement as a player.[1][3] He came from a cricketing family, his brothers Joseph and Richard and nephews Alfred and William all playing first-class cricket for Sussex, with Joseph also making one appearance for Kent.[1][6]
