In the second innings of the First Test at Bridgetown in 1948, Williams hit his first six balls to the boundary: 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4. He reached 50 in half an hour and finished with 72 in 63 minutes.[1] His highest first-class score was 131 not out for Barbados against Trinidad in 1935–36, when he and Manny Martindale shared an eighth-wicket partnership of 255, which remains a West Indian first-class record; he also took three wickets in each innings, opening the bowling.[1][2]
He became the chief sports officer in Barbados.[1]
