Could have been anything. We got to see enough glimpses to see what his best was like, and it was world class. He was one that was always willing to take the attack to the bowler, and helped accelerate run rates, so definitely not from the Bill Lawry school of scoring. Good Ozzie larrikin, tons of character. l dreaded even looking in this thread when l saw the title. Another good one gone. Sad days right now.
Seriously admired Gary Gilmour’s talent as a cricketer in the 70’s. It’s a shame we didn’t see more of it due to a number of factors. Loved his ability to swing it both ways, and given the conditions, he was unplayable. The world cup semi final in 1975 is a great example of this.
Loved the way he attacked the bowling. Mitchell Johnson reminds me of Gus in the way he would thrash the ball if its there to be hit. Wish there was footage of his 101 v New Zealand. 86 runs in boundaries!
Imagine what he could have achieved if he actually took it more seriously. Sad to hear about his health battles over the years.
