First Class

Standing at 6' 2", Ottis Delroy Gibson was a well-travelled cricketer who gained some exposure to international cricket with the West Indies. Born in Barbados on March 16th, 1969, Gibson developed into what some referred to as a 'bowling all-rounder'- an all-rounder whose bowling was more developed than his batting.

Ottis Gibson made his First-class debut in the 1990/91 season for Barbados in the West Indies domestic competition. His Test debut came against England at Lord's in 1995, while his ODI debut was on that same tour of England. Gibson's international career was limited to 17 matches- two Tests and 15 ODIs- between 1995 and 1999. In his two Tests, Gibson scored 93 runs at an average of 23.25 and took 3 wickets at an amazingly horrid average of 91.66.

Gibson's aggressive stroke-play and right-arm fast-medium bowling was more effective in ODIs. In his 15 ODI matches, he took 34 wickets at an impressive average of 18.26. His economy rate was a respectable 5.04. Gibson's late order hitting even earned him an ODI half-century- 52 against Australia at Brisbane in 1996. His ODI batting strike rate was just over a run a ball as well.

Having his chances to represent the West Indies limited, Gibson decided to pursue a professional career in cricket abroad. This meant that he eliminated himself from West Indies selection, since the West Indies Board required players to represent their country in domestic competition to gain selection to the West Indies. That being the case, Gibson played his last match for the West Indies in January 1999- on the ill-fated tour of South Africa.

Ottis Gibson experienced a lot of success at the First-class level as well. He played his First class matches in the West Indies, South Africa and England. Gibson played for a total of nine teams in his professional career, including Gauteng, Griqualand West, Durham and Glamorgan.

From 177 First-class matches, Gibson scalped an impressive 659 wickets at an average of 27.79. His best-bowling in an innings was 10 wickets for 49 runs for Durham against Hampshire in 2007. He became the 79th player to take all ten wickets in an innings in a First-class match. Gibson's batting was not far behind either- having plundered 5,604 runs at a decent average (for a lower-order batsman) of 24.25. His First-class statistics belie his stereotype as a one-day player in his native West Indies.

Gibson enjoyed 17 years of First-class cricket, despite playing his last international match in 1999. His last First class match was for Durham in 2007 and at the age of 38. However, Gibson's involvement in the international game was not over in 1997. Gibson entered the coaching ranks while he was still a player and became part of England's coaching staff in 2007, having to decide between the certainty of the England job over the possibility of the West Indies'. As a well-travelled cricketer with a healthy record in the game, Gibson's place in cricket history is firmly established.
