Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His maiden international appearance came to pass in May 2003 but it turned out to be a nightmarish outing for both Banks and West Indies. He leaked 204 runs in 40 overs at a poor economy rate of 5.10 for 3 wickets as Australia surged to a facile 9 wicket victory. He then held the dubious record of conceding most runs on Test debut.
Swiping aside the disappointment, he contributed a crucial, unbeaten 47 with the bat in the fourth Test at Antigua, helping West Indies fashion the highest successful fourth innings chase in Test history. Banks figured in a few more games but drifted away from the international scene following a fallow period.
In 2007, he made his way to England to render his all-round services for Somerset. He was released by the County side in 2009 after an unproductive stint, which was further marred by ball tampering charges. About three years later, Banks announced his retirement from competitive cricket, shifting his focus towards forging a career in music.
Interesting facts:
1.Banks is the first cricketer from Anguilla to play Test cricket for West Indies.
2.Banks' first single as a musician \"Move On\" was released on iTunes in January 2012.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In May 2003, Omari Banks made history as the first player from the tiny Leeward island of Anguilla to play Test cricket for the West Indies. Facing the mighty Australians, Banks had the sort of introduction that would break lesser men - he picked up three wickets in his first innings, but was spanked for 204 runs in 40 overs, the most runs ever conceded by a Test debutant. With a high, elegant action and good control of flight, Banks possessed sufficient guile to trouble the best, but it was his resourceful lower-middle-order batting that really caught the eye - the following week in Antigua, he contributed an assured and vital 47 not out, as West Indies successfully chased 418 for victory, the highest fourth-innings target in Test history. Banks's skills had been honed at Leicestershire in 2001, where, as a 17-year-old, he spent two months playing for the second XI, with a solitary first-class appearance against the Pakistanis. The following season, he returned to England as part of the West Indian Youth team. After drifting out of the international reckoning in 2005 he eventually joined the Kolpak route into the county when he signed for Somerset in 2008.
