Australia's Gilmour passes away

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 six wickets for 14 runs in the semi-final against arch-rivals England guided Australia to the final against West Indies in which Gilmour took five wickets in a losing cause.
