McSkimming was born at Ranfurly in Central Otago in 1979 and educated at Waitaki Boys' High School.[1] His father, Bryan McSkimming, had played Hawke Cup cricket for Central Otago and had played in the Otago provincial side's Second XI.[2]
A medium-paced bowler who focussed "more on accuracy, rather than bounce or pace,[3] McSkimming played age-group cricket for Otago from the 1996–97 season and played three youth One Day Internationals for the New Zealand under-19 side against an England under-19 side in early 1999. He went on to make his senior representative debut for Otago in December of the same year, playing a List A against Canterbury, opening the bowling without taking a wicket and scoring two not out. He made his first-class debut later the same season, taking five wickets for Otago against the same side.[4]
McSkimming went on to play regularly for Otago in a career which last until the end of the 2010–11 season. He took 240 first-class and 117 List A wickets and made a first-class century, a score of 111 runs made as part of an Otago record ninth wicket partnership of 208 runs with Bradley Scott against Auckland in 2004–05.[1][4] He played for the New Zealand A side four times, touring Sri Lanka with the side in 2005 and playing against a touring England side in 2008–09.[4] Although he was never capped by the national side, he was selected in the 30-man preliminary New Zealand squad for the Champions Trophy in 2006.[5]
