- Wisden noted that he "could drive the ball very hard, but his lack of adequate defence and a sense of impetuosity often caused early failures.

- His form declined in 1956 (432 runs at 20.57, with a highest score of 47) and he was unable to play in a fourth consecutive match against Oxford owing to a finger injury.He returned to Jamaica and played a few more matches for the Jamaica team.
- In his first match he returned to the opening position and scored 91 as well as taking 4 for 20 and 2 for 32 in an innings victory over Leeward Islands in 1958.
