He was 62.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Gilmour is survived by his wife Helen, daughter Brooke Drelincourt and sons Ben and Sam. Earlier this year, his son Clint died of brain cancer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Gilmour passed away at Sydney&#39;s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Tuesday due to ongoing health problems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Cricket Australia (CA) paid rich tribute to Gilmour, hailing his all-round abilities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Australian Test great Greg Chappell said of Gilmour in the 1980s: &quot;Nobody had more talent than that bloke - as much as Garry Sobers.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">&quot;Gary was a captivating talent who had the rare ability to single-handedly turn a game. Anyone who witnessed Gary in full flight during the 1970s will remember fondly how he could influence matches with his all-round abilities,&quot; said CA chief executive officer James Sutherland.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">&quot;Our heartfelt condolences go out to Gary&#39;s family and friends. His memory will live on in Australian cricket,&quot; Sutherland said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Gilmour introduced himself in the Test arena with a half-century and four wickets on debut against New Zealand in 1973-74 at Melbourne, and went on to represent his country in 15 Tests and five one-day internationals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">A left-arm swing bowling all-rounder, Gilmour took 54 Test wickets at 26.03 before his career was curtailed by a nagging foot injury. He also finished with 16 ODI career wickets at an incredible average of 10.31, including figures of 6-14 in the 1975 World Cup semi-final against England.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Gilmour also still holds the Australian Test record for the seventh wicket with Doug Walters, contributing 101 runs (which included 86 runs in boundaries) in a partnership of 217 against New Zealand in Christchurch in 1976-77.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Gilmour was born in Newcastle in 1951 and scored 122 in his maiden game for New South Wales in 1971-72.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Australia coach Darren Lehmann offered condolences to the Gilmour family on behalf of the team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">&quot;On behalf of the Australian cricket team, I take this opportunity to pass on our condolences to the Gilmour family following the passing of Gary earlier today. Gary was a decorated player for Australia and New South Wales and will certainly be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gilmour family during this difficult time,&quot; Lehmann said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\">Picture -&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>theage.com.au<\/p>\r\n",
