He finished the season with 36 wickets in five matches off 867 balls at a bowling average of 13.11 and a strike-rate of a wicket every 24.08 balls. Only Norman Gordon of Transvaal, with 39 wickets off 1798 balls, took more wickets in the season. However, Evans's considerable promise was unfulfilled. He played only two more first-class matches before the Second World War, in which he died at sea off Cape Town, aged 28. He died while serving in the South African Air Force when his Avro Anson stalled and crashed into the sea off Danger Point. (en)
