[1] He only match at first-class level came in August 1905, against Trinidad at Sabina Park, Kingston.
In the second innings, he opened the batting with Francis Wilson, making 13 before again being dismissed by Romeo, this time caught by Trinidad's Wilson (who Cox had earlier dismissed).

Jamaica's captain in the three preceding matches was Charles Burton.
