Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
their pace attack, the leader who inspired the other bowlers to go about their work. His incredibly tall
frame helped him to generate bounce from most pitches in the world and he could also generate
movement off the pitch to complicate things for the batsmen. Tony was outright fast in terms of pace but
had the ability to hustle the batsmen from a really long run up. His international debut came during the 1951 home series against England but he didn't do anything of note during that series with bat or ball. A
conscious decision to cut down on his run up paid instant dividends as he roared during the trip to South Africa the next year. That series established Tony's spot in the side and he went on to serve the country for almost eight years. His most priceless contribution came with the bat during New Zealand's first ever Test win. He was a combative batsman who was more than capable of handling himself. Tony retired after the 1958 tour to England and stayed there for a while to pursue studies. He did play domestic cricket for a few more years before calling it quits from the sport. He passed away in 2010.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Tony MacGibbon spearheaded New Zealand's attack from 1950 to 1958, and proved himself a tremendous tryer in a lean period for NZ cricket. A fast-medium bowler with a longish run, he could swing the ball either way and used his 6ft 5ins frame to make it lift awkwardly. He was also a useful late-order batsman and a superb slip fielder. On the 1953-54 tour of South African tour he was crippled by enteritis, but still took 22 Test wickets. His 35 runs in a low-scoring match contributed considerably to New Zealand's maiden Test victory, against West Indies in 1955-56, while a vigorous 66 at Old Trafford was the highest score by a New Zealander in the one-sided England series of 1958. At the end of that tour, MacGibbon remained in England to read Civil Engineering at Durham University, and only briefly returned to New Zealand's team.
