Comments: Not Long Now, Mr Gilly

The West Australians save the day!

(Well, technically Gilly was an import, but we forgave him. Eventually.)

Gilly was a Gordon boy, played with them from age 16. In those days the keeper of Gordon was Phil Emery who was also the keeper for NSW, and Gilly was third behind Mark Taber (son of Brian Taber, chairman of selectors for NSW) who just happens to captain my indoor cricket team - http://fac.sportspaper.net/ . Gilly left for WA because he was never getting a gig as keepeer because Phil had the job sewn up.
