One of the successes of the 2001-02 Busta Cup campaign, Gareth Breese claimed 44 wickets for Jamaica with his offspin - including a career-best 7 for 60 in the semi-final victory over Barbados - and added more than 350 runs with some lusty lower-order hitting. He did well for the Busta XI that dismissed the Indian tourists for 150 in April, and was named in the squad for the first Test in Guyana - although in the event he didn't make his Test debut until six months later, on a Chennai turner in October 2002. His flat, guileless offspin, however, seems better suited to the one-day arena, and he was a late addition to the West Indian World Cup squad, although he didn't play a game. Breese holds a British passport, and by the end of 2003, he had joined Durham as a non-overseas player. He quickly made himself a mainstay of the Durham team with his consistent allround contributions.
