Wisden overview
In May 2003, Omari Banks made history as the first player from the tiny
Leeward island of Anguilla to play Test cricket for the West Indies. Facing
the mighty Australians, Banks had the sort of introduction that would break
lesser men - he picked up three wickets in his first innings, but was
spanked for 204 runs in 40 overs, the most runs ever conceded by a Test
debutant. With a high, elegant action and good control of flight, Banks
possessed sufficient guile to trouble the best, but it was his resourceful
lower-middle-order batting that really caught the eye - the following week
in Antigua, he contributed an assured and vital 47 not out, as West Indies
successfully chased 418 for victory, the highest fourth-innings target in
Test history. Banks's skills had been honed at Leicestershire in 2001,
where, as a 17-year-old, he spent two months playing for the second XI, with
a solitary first-class appearance against the Pakistanis. The following
season, he returned to England as part of the West Indian Youth team.
