Tony MacGibbon spearheaded New Zealand's attack from 1950 to 1958, and proved himself a tremendous tryer in a lean period for NZ cricket. A fast-medium bowler with a longish run, he could swing the ball either way and used his 6ft 5ins frame to make it lift awkwardly. He was also a useful late-order batsman and a superb slip fielder. On the 1953-54 tour of South African tour he was crippled by enteritis, but still took 22 Test wickets. His 35 runs in a low-scoring match contributed considerably to New Zealand's maiden Test victory, against West Indies in 1955-56, while a vigorous 66 at Old Trafford was the highest score by a New Zealander in the one-sided England series of 1958. At the end of that tour, MacGibbon remained in England to read Civil Engineering at Durham University, and only briefly returned to New Zealand's team.
