Sebastien was an opening batsman and occasional medium-paced bowler. His highest first-class score was 219 for Windward Islands against Leeward Islands in 1978-79, when he and Irvine Shillingford added 202 for the second wicket.[2] He was also an effective one-day player as an all-rounder, winning several player of the match awards, including one in 1981-82 when he dominated Windward Islands' victory over Trinidad and Tobago, taking 4 for 31 and scoring 72 not out.[3]
