List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Lance Gibbs

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer" ) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single Innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement, and as of August 2015 only 43 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at the international level. Lance Gibbs is a former Test and One Day International (ODI) cricketer who represented the West Indies cricket team. A right-arm spin bowler, Gibbs made his Test debut against Pakistan at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain in February 1958. He made his last Test appearance in February 1976, by which point he had taken a total of 309 wickets. As of August 2015, he is 26th in the list of most Test cricket wickets taken overall. With 18 five-wicket hauls, he ranks equal twenty-seventh among bowlers overall, and fourth in the equivalent list for West Indies, behind Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and Malcolm Marshall.

Gibbs' first five-wicket haul came a month after his debut, when he took 5 wickets for 80 runs against Pakistan in the fourth Test of the latter's 1957–58 tour of the West Indies. His best bowling figures are 8 for 38 which he took in the third innings of the third Test between the West Indies and India at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. Described by Cecil Kippins as "the greatest ever bowling spell in Test Cricket", Gibbs took the eight wickets in a sixteen-over spell, conceding six runs. Although Gibbs played ODI cricket, he made just three appearances, during which his best bowling figures were 1 for 12.
