His contribution to the Cavalier cause in a drawn match at Kingston was negligible, but he scored a beautiful century at Georgetown against Guyana to move beyond Marshall, with whom he had been sharing the West Indian record of 61 centuries in first-class cricket. His bowling in both appearances was unusually ineffective and his 4 wickets proved exceptionally costly. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 270.
