The West Indies were feared for their pace battery in their heydays. The Carribean with long fingers made merry on Indian pitches. He played 9 matches in India to pick up 39 wickets at the cost of 23 runs.

Lance was the first spinner in Test history to cross the 300-wicket mark and was remarkably accurate with his off-cutters. With terrifying pace always operating from the other end, Gibbs had his work cut out and picked wickets aplenty from the other end.
