While studying at the University of Cambridge, Ramsbotham made his first-class debut for Cambridge University against Kent in 1908.[1] In that same season, he made his first-class debut for Sussex against Cambridge University, as well as making his County Championship against Hampshire in that same season. The following season, he made his second and final first-class appearance for Cambridge University against the touring Australians.[1] For Sussex, he went on to make five further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Oxford University in 1910.[1] In total, Rambotham made seven first-class appearances for Sussex, scoring 210 runs at an average of 19.09, with a high score of 56.[2] This score was his only first-class half century and came against Cambridge University in 1909.[3]
