Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Gulbis' rise to the top-level domestic cricket is quite sensational. He started off as an explosive opening batsman for his club, Carlton. He then moved to Tasmania to enhance his game, and started to bowl medium pace, learning the subtle nuances of hit-the-deck seaming bowling. He impressed with his performances in grade-level cricket and graduated to the first-class level when he was handed a contract by Tasmania in 2011.
Gulbis has played for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League since BBL 05, and has largely underachieved with the bat. In his second season, he only managed to play 6 games before getting dropped for poor performance. His only innings of note with the bat was his highest score of 22 off 16 balls against the Adelaide Strikers.
He hasn't been amongst the wickets with the ball either during his stint with the Stars. However, his cunning bowling and his economy rate have been an indispensable asset for the Stars - one of the major reasons the franchise has persisted with Gulbis. His best performance has yielded only one wicket (one for 8 against the Brisbane Heat). However, his uncanny ability to fox batsmen with his variations and his nippy seam bowling propelled him to the third position in the list of most miserly bowlers in the BBL, with an economy rate of 7.30.
Gulbis' delivered his break-through all-round performance in March 2014 when he belted 229 in a first-class game in his side's massive victory against South Australia, making it the second-highest first-class score in history by a number 8 batsman. With the ball in hand, he returned figures of 4-7 to add to the opposition's misery. He was awarded the Ricky Ponting medal for the best Tasmanian player in the season for his achievements.
In the 2016–17 season, Gulbis was signed to the Wellington side in New Zealand's domestic T20 tournament
Gulbis was in the news for the wrong reasons in December 2017, when he was axed by his New Zealand Super Smash team, the Wellington Firebirds, for a late night-out before a match day at Nelson. Along with Jade Dernbach of England, Gulbis was said to be hungover on the day of the match and the duo proved to be the most expensive bowlers in their contest against Central Districts. He has returned to Australia to play for his Big Bash side, the Melbourne Stars, and will be a valuable asset to the side, barring any repeat offences.
