tour. Of the three Tests England won two and the other was drawn. Grant scored 1195 runs in the season at an average of 30.64, with two centuries, including his highest first-class score of 115 against an England XI at the end of the tour when he added 226 for the third wicket with Headley. In the Tests, however, he made only 102 runs in six innings. In the Second Test at Manchester he asked his fastest bowlers, Manny Martindale and Learie Constantine, to use bodyline tactics. The English batsmen were unable to play it confidently – except for the captain, Douglas Jardine, who scored his only Test century and saved the English innings from collapse. Grant said admiringly of Jardine's innings: "Never once did he flinch. Never once did he lose his nerve." Having now seen bodyline in action, Grant did not use it again. Grant's last Test series was the English tour of 1934-35. West Indies won this series two to one with one Test drawn. In the First Test, on a rain-affected pitch where all the batsmen struggled, Grant declared the second innings at 51 for 6, setting England 73 to win in the hope that the state of the pitch would defeat the English team, but they won with six wickets down after being 48 for 6. West Indies won the Second and Fourth Tests, thus winning a series for the first time. When Grant had to leave the field with an injury late in the Fourth Test he asked Constantine to captain the side in his absence, and Constantine led the team to victory. Despite this success, Grant retired from international cricket after the series, aged 27. He decided that there were things he wanted to do with his life that a continuing involvement in Test cricket would not allow him to do: "For to me cricket was a game, not my life. Also it was not my profession. Therefore, in conscience, I could not give it the priority that others did and also expected me to do." At the same time as his cricket career Grant also played soccer for the Trinidad and Tobago national team. Teaching career Grant began his teaching career in Southern Rhodesia in 1931. He taught for two terms at Plumtree School and then briefly at Milton High School before accepting the offer of a position at his old school,
