Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He briefly added steel to the Test bowling, claiming a career best of 5/93 against Australia in 2003 in a winning cause. His most memorable moment though arrived with the bat when his unbeaten 27 in a glittering cameo guided West Indies to the highest successful run-chase in Test history. He played till the 2003 World Cup and signed off with 33 Test wickets and 51 ODI wickets.
Drakes' talent was also sought after outside the Caribbean as proved by his nomadic stints with Scotland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Sussex and Warwickshire. Interestingly, Drakes is one among only four batsmen to have been timed out in First Class cricket.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
When Vasbert Drakes was selected for West Indies' Champions Trophy squad at 33 in September 2002, he was offered a belated chance to build the sort of international career that seemed to have been his for the taking a few years earlier. Capable of genuine pace off a short run-up, and a very handy hard-hitting batsman with four first-class centuries to his name, Drakes's West Indies career had been limited to five one-day matches against Australia in 1994-95, and a place on the subsequent tour of England. But thereafter, Drakes chose to earn his living by playing county cricket in the English summer, and for Border in South Africa in the winter, which meant he was not eligible for national selection. It was only when the selectors realised how short-sighted this policy was that Drakes returned
to the fold. He celebrated with the wicket of Jacques Kallis in his first international over for more than seven years, and went on to enjoy personal success in an anticlimatic World Cup campaign. The highlight of his career, however, came with the bat, when his unbeaten 27 steered West Indies to a world-record target of 418, against Australia in Antigua. In 2008 he took over as coach of the UAE.
