Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He just played one game in West Indies' title winning campaign in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, claiming 5/29 versus Bangladesh, his finest display in ODIs, before an ill-fated injury ruled him out of the tournament. However, such performances were sporadic, interspersed between a volley of mediocre ones.
The Trinidad and Tobago bowler featured in 38 Tests and 108 ODIs, pouching 131 and 130 wickets respectively. His chequered international career could have been a much brighter one though, for he had most of the ingredients to become a go-to strike bowler. With the younger crop of Jerome Taylor and Fidel Edwards outpacing him emphatically aside from lending that spark to the West Indies bowling attack, Dillion was sent tumbling out of the team.
He played his last international match in 2005 after which he ventured into the Indian Cricket League.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Mervyn Dillon has long been labelled as the natural successor to Courtney Walsh. His action has a hint of the same well-oiled efficiency, and he takes a high percentage of wickets with the ball that angles in then just holds its own. But Dillon has neither the deceptive pace of the young Walsh nor the matchless craft of the later model. He remains an adequate stock bowler who, in another era, would hardly qualify for the new ball. Nevertheless, he did everything that was asked of him during West Indies' series victory over India in 2001-02, leading the attack with a rarely-witnessed passion, and bowling his side to victory at Bridgetown and Kingston. His bowling fell away after that, and the emergence of a number of younger, quicker bowlers meant that Dillon's place was no longer secure. He was left out after the series in South Africa in 2003-04, but made it into the Champions Trophy squad, and took a career-best 5 for 29 against Bangladesh at the Rose Bowl, although injury ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.
