Timeline

1963

Philip Verant Simmons (born 18 April 1963) is a Trinidadian cricket coach and former player.

1983

He made the leap to represent Trinidad and Tobago in 1983 with the help and encouragement of Rohan Kanhai, the coach at East Zone.

At the domestic level, he featured for Trinidad and Tobago, English sides Durham and Leicestershire along with South African clubs Border and Easterns.

1987

He played international cricket for the West Indies from 1987 to 1999 as an opening batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler.

He excelled in the One Day International (ODI) format and represented the West Indies at three Cricket World Cups.

Simmons proved more adept at the international one day game, playing a total of 143 ODI matches between 1987 and 1999.

Making his ODI career at the 1987 Cricket World Cup, he made two half-centuries (50 against Pakistan and 89 against Sri Lanka).

1988

During a 1988 tour match against Gloucestershire on his debut tour of England, he was struck on the head by a fast ball from David Lawrence in bad light at Bristol.

His heart stopped and he required emergency surgery at Frenchay Hospital, from which he recovered fully.

1992

Like many before him, Simmons found the transition to Test cricket difficult, making only one century in his Test career (110 at Melbourne, during the West Indies' 1992–93 tour of Australia, and finishing his career in 1997 with a batting average of just 22.26 in 26 matches.

At the 1992 World Cup, he played four matches including scoring 110 versus Sri Lanka.

In December 1992, during the 8th match of the World Series Cup in Australia, Simmons won the Man of the Match award for his match-winning spell of 10 overs, 8 maidens, 3 runs, 4 wickets, with an economy of 0.30, against Pakistan.

With this, Simmons holds the world record for most economical bowling performance (in terms of the fewest runs conceded) in an ODI among those who completed their maximum quota of overs (10 overs in a 50-over match).

At Sharjah's Champions Trophy tri-series the following year he was named player of the series by scoring three half centuries and a total of 330 runs for the series.

1995

At the 1995/96 World Series Cup in Australia, which also included hosts Sri Lanka, Simmons failed to impress for which he was not selected for the 1996 World Cup.

1996

During the 1996 season with Leicestershire, he marked his debut for the club in scoring 261, his highest score for the club, with 34 fours and four sixes against Northamptonshire.

He went on to accumulate 1244 runs with 56 wickets and 35 catches, helping his side to win the County Championship for only the second time in their history.

Simmons also won the PCA Player of the Year award in 1996.

1997

He was thereafter named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1997.

1998

Simmons later helped Leicestershire to win another County Championship title in 1998.

During that campaign he took over the captaincy from James Whitaker and Chris Lewis.

At the time Whitaker was ailing with an injury and Lewis was reprimanded for indisciplined behaviour.

With Simmons at the helm, Leicestershire went on a six match winning streak and eventually claimed the title with a resounding triumph over Surrey at The Oval.

Simmons eventually scored 11682 runs at an average of 35.61 with 24 hundreds and 65 half centuries as well as 214 wickets picked up at an average of 28.68 with a sum of five 5 wicket hauls in his first class career.
