A right-arm bowler who imparted tremendous spin to the ball, McKibbin sometimes had his action questioned, but he was never called for throwing.[1] He took 101 wickets at an average of 14.26 on the Australians' tour of England in 1896.[2] In 1896-97 he set a record for the Sheffield Shield when he took 44 wickets in the season, a figure which stood until 1934–35, when Chuck Fleetwood-Smith took 62 wickets.[3]
