Despite failing in a North v South “Test Trial” match, he took another 100 off the touring West Indian team who had not yet been accorded Test status. Thereafter he faltered and, his Oval innings apart, he achieved only modest success until he encountered the West Indies again at Scarborough in September. Overnight 96 not out, he added just a single before being bowled but his flawless innings stood out in a total of 218 in which only Hobbs, Chapman and he reached double figures. It was unfortunate that in the season when he was to play his highest number of innings (60) he should record the lowest home seasonal average of his post-war career (37.77).
