Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Campbell set a string of consistent displays in motion in the Red Stripe Cup in 1993-94, stacking up 547 runs at a telling average of over 50. Worthily, he was rewarded with a berth on West Indies' tour to India. But his ODI debut in October 1994 was far from auspicious as Campbell featuring in the middle order managed just 3 runs. He made some substantial contributions after being elevated to the top of the order but had to wait for his maiden Test appearance for a few more months.
Showcasing vast reserves of concentration, he scored 51, while occupying the crease for 163 minutes. In the next Test at Wellington he cracked a typically brisk 88. Just one one felt that West Indies had gained some solidarity coupled with enterprise at the top following departure of Greenidge and Hayes, Campbell malfunctioned in the home series against Australia.
The blow hot-blow cold trend continued till his career eventually met the dead end. He figured in 52 Tests and 90 ODIs tallying 2882 and 2283 runs respectively before he was shown the door.
His cavalier method - walk across and force the ball to the leg-side- became increasingly stereotyped as his career wore on. Identifying the trigger movement, the rival bowlers gradually worked him over. Campbell's journey was another example of talent not marrying temperament.
Interestingly, he seemed to reserve his best for the Kiwis. His top two Test scores of 208 and 170 came against the New Zealand team. Arguably, Campbell was a more formidable force in the domestic circuit, churning out 10000+ first-class runs embellished with 26 centuries and 55 fifties to go with 164 catches.
After drawing the curtains down on all forms of competitive cricket, Campbell took up coaching. Under his astute counsel, the West Indies Women's team advanced to the WC final in India before reaching the semi-finals of the T20 WC in Bangladesh in 2014.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Given their problems of finding a stable opening pair, it seems strange that West Indies couldn't find a place for the dashing Sherwin Campbell. He was dropped after their disastrous tour of Australia in 2000-01 and has not looked like getting back since. Campbell is a curious case, a swashbuckling chancer of an opener whose flashing blade makes him a dangerous customer on any surface (his 82 was comfortably the highest score in the Lord's dogfight of 2000). But he is just as likely to die by that scything blade, and his run of scores in international matches in New Zealand in 1999-00 (170, 0, 0, 3, 51, 0, 0) are symptomatic of the man.
