Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Year includes two West Indian Test players – one current, one former.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul receives cricket’s oldest accolade after sustaining his side’s batting almost single-handedly during the tour of England in 2007, while Ottis Gibson – who played his last Test in 1999 – is named after inspiring Durham’s most successful season of county cricket, during which he also achieved every bowler’s dream by taking all ten wickets in an innings, against Hampshire.
