His performance that season earned him selection in the Western Australian squad which competed in the Melbourne Carnival, however Evans didn't play a game.

At the end of the year he announced his retirement but made a comeback in 1929 and scored enough goals to again be Perth's leading forward.

He took part in most of Western Australia's first-class fixtures during the 1920s and was also twice selected to play for an Australian XI, against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club.

His biggest scalp however was undoubtedly Don Bradman, who despite averaging over 100 for the season was sent back to the pavilion by Evans for just 27, in Western Australia's match against the Australian XI in 1929/30.

In the most outstanding all-round career in the club's history he scored 6,708 runs (five centuries) and took a record 554 wickets in 268 matches from 1920 to 1945.
