The Cricket World Cup has created many memorable and exciting challenges in its 44-year history.
Australia’s Gary Gilmour took the first ODI six-wicket pull, taking 6/14 to tear through England and achieve the Cricket World Cup Final.
Competition has England were very much aware of the danger presented by fearsome quick bowlers Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson in front of a World Cup semi-last against old adversaries Australia.
Be that as it may, rather, they were fixed by an exciting burst of left-arm swing bowling from Gary Gilmour as the 23-year-old took six for 14, with England full scale for only 93.
Gilmour’s work was a long way from completed, in any case. Australia crumbled thusly and were 39 for six after Chris Old had taken three wickets on his Headingley home ground, when Gilmour came into bat.
In any case, his 28 not out and a whole remain with Doug Walters saw Australia into the last.
