Ottis Gibson’s ten

By Will 3 years ago, at the end of July Add your comment below

Well done that man. I remember Richard Johnson taking 10 for 45 in 1994 as though it were yesterday. Middlesex members and fans all thought we had yet another brilliant fast bowler in the making – and I seem to remember Ray Illingworth also agreeing when he said he had a “heavy ball”, an expression which I’d not heard before back then. Johnson was, from memory, picked for the South Africa tour before one of his many back problems surfaced.

Anyway. Gibson is not going to be going to South Africa, or anywhere else for that matter, for he’s the wrong side of 38. But that only make his achievement all the more special and memorable. Go on, West Indies…do the unthinkable and give him a call-up, just for fun.

Full list of the 79 bowlers to have taken all ten wickets in an innings available at Cricinfo.

    2 x Bowled
    2 x LBW
    4 x Caught Behind
    1 x Caught Elsewhere
    and even
    1 x Caught and Bowled

    Pretty good effort, covered pretty much everything, except Hit-Wicket and Handled Ball…

    So why back to the old look Will? I think it looks better like this anyway… :)

    He can hit a ball further than anyone alive, too.
