"He achieved notability in 1881, when he made the highest score in cricket at the time." and "Roe gained cricketing fame in the summer of 1881..." seem to refer to the same thing. As the latter goes into more detail and explains Roe's notability, you can drop the first instance, as it doesn't need to be repeated, especially in the lead.
Cut this out of the first paragraph, and tweaked it in the second for clarity, how's that?
