Australia鈥檚 Gilmour dead

FORMER Australia cricketer Gary Gilmour, who dazzled in the inaugural World Cup, has died after a prolonged fight with ill health, Cricket Australia said on its Twitter feed yesterday.

The left-arm swing bowler, who was also known for his hard-hitting abilities with the bat, died at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital at the age of 62.

Gilmour took 54 wickets and scored a century in 15 tests but is remembered more for his heroics in the 1975 World Cup. His 6-14 haul in the semifinal against England guided Australia to the final against West Indies where Gilmour took five wickets in a losing cause.
