He was second in the West Indies batting averages in 1900 and third in 1906 so was regarded as one of the successes of these tours. In 1900 he scored the first century by a West Indian in England when he made 113 against the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Cricket Club, described by Wisden as "a dashing and faultless display".
Before the 1906 tour he was described as "an excellent battalion Considered to be Austin"s rival, but his strokes lack the finish of Austin"s" and "another of the brigade who proved himself very strong on the left side and can bat with power.
He fields in the slips and can bowl right arm medium pace if required".
In the West Indies he was selected to play for the combined West Indian team against touring English teams on a number of occasions: in 1896-1897, 1901-1902, 1904-1905 and 1912-1913. He scored his only first class century against British Guiana in the 10th tournament in 1909-1910.
