Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Born on 28th May, 1956, Dujon was competent not just behind the stumps, but also more than handy withthe bat in the lower order. A self-described non regular keeper, he began improving after his Test debut in the 1981 series against Australia by observing the great Rod Marsh. Indeed, at that point of time only Marsh and Pakistan's Wasim Bari had the maximum dismissals in Tests and Dujon went on to emulate them. Compared to the gigantic West Indies fast bowlers, Dujon looked like a pigmy. But, he more than made up for that with his athleticism and rarely let go of anything which the batsman couldn't play at. Well known for taking spectacular one-handed catches, Dujon notched up 272 dismissals in a career lasting 10 years and 81 Tests. Probably one of the first keepers to make an impact with the bat in a big way, he also notched up 5 centuries and 16 fifties. His highest Test score of 139 came against Australia at Perth, of all places, in 1984-85 when his side was reduced to 186/6.
Detractors might rightfully point out that Dujon's keeping skills against spinners remained untested. But the time during which Dujon operated, becoming a spinner was never a wise career option in the Caribbean islands and truth be told, his talent was showcased against the most fearsome pacers ever. His first class career throws up far greater figures: 9763 runs, 21 centuries and 469 dismissals. That is a record no other West Indies keeper has yet been able to match. After his retirement in 1992, he has worked as an assistant coach to the West Indies national team. Currently, his articulate presence in the commentary box is much valued.
Fact: He was the Wisden cricketer of the year in 1989.
Quotable Quotes
'He was superb when keeping to Shane Warne and that’s why I rate him higher than Gilchirist'- On Ian Healy
By Siddharth Prabhakar
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
It was one of the most spectacular sights of cricket in the 1980s. A great West Indian fast bowler - any of several suspects - roared on by a partisan Caribbean crowd, a short ball rearing, the batsman fending and edging, and behind the stumps, a lithe athlete leaping and plunging to take another one-handed blinder. Jeff Dujon was the gymnastic hub of those all-conquering Windies sides, a man who never participated in a losing series and whose tally of victims has been exceeded only by Ian Healy and Rod Marsh. If his keeping was never adequately tested against spin bowling (just five of his 270 victims were stumped) then there was scant opportunity. No-one can have been more riveting to watch standing back. He could bat too, elegantly, sufficiently well to make five Test centuries. The largest of them, 139, came in the opening match against Australia at Perth in 1984-85, and helped rescue his side from 186 for 6.
