However, on his return in the Triangular tournament of 1912 he was more successful and made 360 runs in six Tests, with 114 at Manchester and 102 at Lord's, both against South Africa. He also had best bowling of 5/33 in an innings.
He served as a Captain in the Australian Army and after the war remained in England and captained the Australian Imperial Forces team.
He died after a long illness in Sydney, aged 55.
