Gareth Breese
Gareth Rohan Breese (b. January 9, 1976, Montego Bay, St James Parish, Jamaica) is a West Indian cricketer who played one Test match in 2002, as the main spin bowler at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium against India. Breese scored five runs in two innings, and took two wickets, but conceded 135 runs in 31 overs and was the most expensive bowler. He was outperformed by all-rounder Carl Hooper, who ended with two for 51 from 13 overs, and Breese did not return to the team.
Breese has played more than 100 first class games for Jamaica and Durham. He played for Durham in the 2004 and 2005 seasons, qualifying as a non-overseas player due to owning a British passport. With 31 wickets, he was the third highest wicket-taker for Durham in 2005, as the team promoted from Division Two in the County Championship. He is also a useful batsman, and had several half-centuries from number seven and eight in the batting order to help Durham to victories, including an unbeaten 79 at Taunton as Durham chased 243 to win after Breese had come in at 98 for 4.
