He was a member of both the 1900 and 1906 West Indies touring sides. 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 M.C.C., described by Wisden as "a dashing and faultless display".Wisden, 1901 page xcvii Before the 1906 tour he was described as "an excellent bat; considered to be Austin's rival, but his strokes lack the finish of Austin's"Cricket - A Weekly Record of the Game, 1906 page 178 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".The West Indian Tour of England 1906 by Gerry Wolstenholme, page 8
