After just one game he found himself facing the touring West Indian side and performed with distinction, making 95 in his second innings.[1] He spent 1991/92 and 1992/93 with Victoria before he returned to South Australia and continued to perform consistently, scoring over 700 runs in each of the next three seasons.
