Gary "Gus" John Gilmour (26 June 1951 – 10 June 2014) was an Australian cricketer who played in 15 Tests and 5 One Day Internationals (ODIs) between 1973 and 1977.

At the peak of his career, Gilmour combined "talented hitting" with "penetrative" left-arm swing bowling and strong slip catching.[1] He earned comparisons to the Australian all-rounder Alan Davidson.[1] He was called "Newcastle's greatest all-rounder and arguably its greatest cricketer".[2]

Early life and education

Gary John Gilmour was born 26 June 1951 in the Newcastle suburb of Waratah. He attended Waratah Primary School[3] and Newcastle Boys High School.[4]

He was awarded two "Blues" by the New South Wales Combined High Schools Sports Association: in 1967 (Baseball) and 1969 (Cricket).[5]

Gilmour was selected to play for Newcastle while still a teenager. He was only 16 when picked for Northern New South Wales against New Zealand[6] and took 5-70 for Newcastle against Metropolitan when only 17.[7]

He was picked in the Australian Schoolboys team to tour the West Indies in 1969-70.


In 1970-71 he was selected in the State Colts team.[8]

First Class Cricketer

Gilmore was selected in the New South Wales team to play South Australia in January 1972. He scored 40 in the first innings[9] and 122 in the second.

Gilmour was a regular member of the New South Wales team throughout 1972-73 and people began to discuss him as an international prospect.[10]

In 1973-74, a good all round performance for New South Wales against the touring New Zealand team helped his cause considerably and he was picked in the Australian side for the first test.[11]

Test Debut

Gilmour's test debut consisted of 52 runs and 4 for 75 in a win over New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. [12]

He was made 12th man for the third test so the Australian selectors could trial other bowlers. However he did make the squad to tour NewZealand in 1974.[13]

Gilmour was made 12th man for the first two tests. He took seven wickets in a Test at Auckland, which included 5 for 64 in the first innings to set up a series-tying victory.[14]

1975 Tour of England

Competition for fast bowling places in the Australian team was intense at this time, especially once Denis Lillee returned from injury and Jeff Thomson struck form. Gilmour wasn't selected for the 1974–75 Ashes series, with the selectors preferring Max Walker as the third pace bowler. That summer he did take 5-19 in a spell against Queensland.[15] He was picked on the 1975 tour of England, in part because his all round ability made him ideal for the World Cup one day matches.[16]

The team went through Canada, and Gilmour had some very strong games, hitting 77 in one.[17]

1975 World Cup

The Australians, inexperienced at one-day cricket, adopted a casual yet aggressive approach, often employing a full slips cordon for their opening bowlers. Gilmour was twelfth man in the early stages of the tournament, but selected for the semi final against England at Headingley. On a day tailor-made for his style of bowling, he finished with 12 overs, six for 14, thus bowling out the opposition for 93. This was the first time that a bowler had taken six wickets in an ODI, and remained the best ODI bowling performance until Winston Davis claimed 7–51 in the 1983 competition.[18]

With the Australians almost defeated at 6 for 39 in reply, Gilmour thrashed 28 not out to push his team into the final.[19] Although Australia lost the final to West Indies, Gilmour bagged another five wickets.

1975 Ashes

Gilmour pressed for selection in the test side with some strong performances in tour games.[20][21] However he was made 12th man for the first two tests, despite scoring 100 against Sussex.[22] The selectors preferred Max Walker as third paceman.

Gilmour was called on only at Headingley, partly because of his World Cup effort there. He replaced Alan Turner.[23] He bagged 6 for 85 in the first innings, three more in the second innings, yet was dropped for the last Test.

1975–76: Career Peak

In 1975–76, Gilmour raised prospects that he was about to realise his potential. He was picked in the side for the first test against the West Indies[24] and this time it was Max Walker who was made 12th man. Gilmour took 4-42 helping Australia win the match.

Gilmour was kept on in the second test, with Australia opting for five bowlers (playing Gilmour and Walker, hoping Gilmour's batting would offset the loss of a specialist). Gilmour scored 48 and took 2-103 as Australia lost by an innings.[25]

Gilmour was made 12th man for the third test with the selectors deciding to play Max Walker at his MCG home ground.[26]

An injury to Denis Lillee saw Gilmour back in the side for the fourth test. and he kept his place in the side for the rest of the series. In the fifth test, Gilmour hit 95 with the bat.[27] In the sixth test he took 5-51.[28] He finished the series with 20 wickets at 20.3.[29]

He finished the summer with 104 for NSW against Victoria[30] and 80 against South Australia.[31]

1976 Tour of South Africa

Gilmour toured South Africa in 1976 with an International Wanderers side managed by Richie Benaud.[32][33]

Highlights of the tour included scoring 80 in a last wicket stand of 96[34] which Benaud said was one of the best innings he had seen.[35]

1976–77: Decline

Gilmour was chosen as third paceman for the first test against Pakistan, a game in which Jeff Thomson was injured. Gilmour required a runner during the game, due to an injured ankle.[36]

Gilmour had a poor summer with the ball, delivering eight wickets in three Tests at 37.5. Later it was revealed that Gimour had been bowling all summer with a bone "the size of a five-cent piece" floating around his heel.[37]

Gilmour's weight led to him come in for criticism. He would later tell the story of Don Bradman informing him that "If I was a selector you'd never play for Australia. You eat too many potatoes."[2]

1977 Tour of New Zealand

A brief tour to New Zealand followed, on which it became clear that Gilmour was struggling with a leg injury.

He scored 44 in an early tour but performed poorly with the ball.[38] In the first test,. Gilmour hit his only Test century, 101 in 146 balls and 187 minutes, combining with Doug Walters for an Australian record seventh-wicket partnership of 217.

"I can't think of a better Gilmour innings for Australia", said Greg Chappell. "1 know a lot of people thought he should be dropped, but that innings showed why he can't."[39] However his bowling was so poor he was barely used.[40]

He also bowled poorly in the second test. "It certainly isn't helping us", said Greg Chappell. "He is not bowling as well as he should be".[41] However he did score 64 with the bat.

1977 Centenary Test

But Gilmour's powers as a bowler ebbed dramatically, so much so that he bowled only nine inconsequential overs in the Centenary Test at Melbourne in March 1977. Gilmour later says he "was a fool" for not pulling out of the test. His poor form saw him omitted for selection on the 1977 Australian Tour of England.[42]

"I was driving over the Sydney Harbour Bridge one night and the team was read out," recalled Gimour. "My name wasn't in it. That really peeved me."[37]

He had an operation to remove the bone shortly afterwards.[43]

World Series Cricket

Gilmour signed to play World Series Cricket and enjoyed varying success. In 2003 he would reflect that from "a financial point of view" joining World Series Cricket was the correct decision but "from a career point of view... I don't know. The jury's still out."[37]

Gilmour had a patchy World Series Cricket. He was called into the main side when Dennis Lillee fell injured in 1977-78[44] taking 4-26 against the World XI.[45]

He began the 1978-79 season with 5-20 in a warm up game[46] but was suspended for being "a bit overweight" on a tour of New Zealand.[47] He was given a month to lose the weight and succeeded.[48]

Highlights of the 78-79 summer included putting on 75 in 51 minutes with Ian Chappell in a one day game[49] and taking a hat trick in a one day game against the West Indies[50].

He toured the West Indies in 1978 with the Australian World Series team.

During World Series Cricket Gilmour had the occasional run-in with Kerry Packer. He later recalled:

It was a freezing night at VFL Park in Melbourne and they had just introduced the stump microphone. Rainy, miserable night it was. Ray Bright was our 12th man and I spent several overs trying to get his attention. In the end I yelled into the stump mic, 'Hey Brighty, where's me f---ing jumper?' I thought they'd cut it out, but apparently it went to air. Packer wasn't impressed. Got hauled over the coals for that one![2]

Final Years

Following the end of World Series Cricket, Gilmour only played two more first class games for New South Wales. "They had me earmarked for destruction," he later claimed of the Australian cricket establishment.[37] His first career was over at the age of 27. However he continued to play for Belmont in Newcastle District Competition.

Post-Cricket Career

In 2009 he was appointed manager of the Newcastle representative cricket team.[51]

Awards and honours

He has been made a member of Waratah Primary School's Hall of Fame.[3] In 2007, he was "named one of the best 30 players to have played one-day cricket for Australia".[3] In 2010, the new training nets at Lugar Park, Kotara were named in his honour.[52]

Personal life

Gimour suffered poor health in the last years of his life. He had a congenital narrowing of the main artery to the liver and in 2005 he underwent a liver transplant.[51] He suffered ill-health for many years which was exacerbated by a fall. He died at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney on 10 June 2014.[53]

"He was at the front of the queue when they were handing out talent, but unfortunately he was right at the back of the queue when they handed out health and good luck," said his captain Ian Chappell.[53]

Family

His older brother, Greg "Sleepy" Gilmour was the main force behind the Hunter Jaegers joining the national netball league and played first-grade rugby union for Merewether-Carlton and Wanderers.[54] His three sons, Clint, Ben and Sam Gilmour and nephews, Mitch and Nathan Gilmour, all played cricket.[55]

Gilmour was married to Helen and together they had four children, Clint, Ben, Sam and Brooke. Clint Gilmour predeceased his father, dying of brain cancer aged 33 in March 2014.[53]

Appraisal

Teammate Kerry O'Keeffe said on Gilmour's death:

He wasn't a gregarious bloke, really. He was actually quite retiring, but he was always up for a bit of fun. He never seemed to take his cricket all that seriously, in that country way. Numbers didn't mean much to him. In a lot of respects he had that 'Hookesy' outlook. Why would you get eight not out in 10 overs? He couldn't understand, what's the use of that? His record suggests unfulfilled talent and I guess that's what it was to a certain extent.[56]

Another teammate, Steve Bernard said:

As a cricketer he was the most talented player of my time, a guy who had extraordinary talents in every facet of cricket. In hindsight he probably didn't reach the heights that he should have, based on his cricket ability, but the guys who played with him and against him will recognise he was a fantastic player, who was dynamic in anything he did in cricket. When he was on he was unplayable. He bowled a swinging ball, he could hit the ball a mile, throw it like a bullet and he was a fantastic catcher either close to the wicket or in the outfield – a supreme cricketer. He was a very popular person, Gus, a bit of a larrikin and very much liked by everyone. He didn't take life all that seriously, played for the enjoyment of it.[57]
