Omari Banks
Omari Banks became
the first player from the tiny Leeward island of Anguilla to play Test
cricket for the West Indies. His debut came May 2003 against the mighty
Australians. His bowling figures were an unflatering 3 for 204 from 40
overs, this performance place him in the record books for the
most runs conceeded by a bowler on debut in Test cricket. Tall With
a high, elegant action and good control of flight, Banks possessed
sufficient guile to trouble the best, but it was his resourceful lower
order batting that added dept and stability to the fragile West Indies
tail.
In his second Test
match, Omari Banks held his nerves and composure for 47 vital runs to take
the West Indies to a historical victory over Australia at the Antigua
Recreation Ground. The West Indies' 418 on that occasion, was the
highest fourth innings score in the history of Test cricket and that
record still stands.
