Sherwin made two first-class appearances for Sussex, both against Kent in 1861.[1] In the first match against Kent at Royal Brunswick Ground, Hove, Sherwin was run out for a duck in Sussex's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by Edgar Willsher for a single run. Kent won the match by 8 wickets.[2] In the return match at the Higher Common Ground, Tunbridge Wells, he was dismissed for a single run in Sussex's first-innings by Willsher, while in their second-innings he batted down the order at number eleven and finished unbeaten on 0. Kent won the match by 34 runs.[3]
