He is known for bowling England to victory against the West Indies in 1967–68 and Australia in 1970–71 and was a ''Wisden'' Cricketer of the Year in 1973.

His disdain for the cricketing authorities at Sussex and Lord's was aptly summed up in his autobiography ''Cricket Rebel'' as was his decision to play for Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket in 1977–79.

Ray Illingworth captained the English cricket team in Australia in 1970–71, playing as England in the 1970–71 Ashes series against the Australians and as the MCC in their other matches on the tour.

When they arrived, the Australian selector Neil Harvey called them "rubbish", and others labelled them "Dad's Army" because of the seniority of the players, whose average age was over 30, but these experienced veterans beat the younger Australian team.p72-74, Batty They are the only touring team to play a full Test series in Australia without defeat.

Lance Gibbs
Lancelot Richard Gibbs (born 29 September 1934) is a former West Indies cricketer, one of the most successful spin bowlers in Test cricket history. He took 309 Test wickets, only the second player (after Fred Trueman) to pass 300, the first spinner to pass that milestone, and had an exceptional economy rate of under two runs per over.

Gibbs played a few more first-class games for British Guiana over the next few years, and some good perfo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
