This became the highest opening partnership for the Windies in Australia, surpassing 135 notched by both Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes in the 1988–89 season.

He put on 284 for the 4th wicket with Shivnarine Chanderpaul who also made a double hundred making it one of the few occasions where two players have passed 200 in the same innings.

He made a brief return to the side in May for an ODI series against India but failed to impress and lost any chance he had of gaining inclusion in the World Cup squad.

In October 2007, he signed a one-year contract to feature, in the 2008 season, as a Kolpak player for English county side Derbyshire.

In March 2023 he announced his intention to stand as the PNP candidate for the Saint Ann South Eastern constituency being vacated by Lisa Hanna.
