Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Gilly: The Turbulent Life of Roy Gilchrist is the tragic account of a cricket meteor who crashed to earth all too quickly because of his flawed temperament. Born into grinding poverty in rural Jamaica in 1934, Gilchrist's prowess as a phenomenal fast bowler quickly gained him international recognition, but the failure to curb his unstable temperament saw him sent home from the West Indies tour of India in 1959 for dangerous bowling. A victim of the class-ridden clique that ran West Indies cricket, Gilchrist hardly helped his cause by refusing to alter his aggressive demeanour. Excessive gamesmanship and constant fights on and off the field, culminating in a prison sentence for attacking his wife with a hot iron, not only put paid to any hopes of reviving his Test career; it also tainted his reputation irrevocably. Sadly, he lived his final years as a pauper afflicted by disease. Gilly is the tragic account of a West Indian fast bowler whose rise to greatness was undermined by a volatile temperament on and off the field. Banned from Test cricket for dangerous bowling at 24, a refusal to curb his aggressive behaviour and chaotic lifestyle led to scrapes with authority and, ultimately, to a life unfulfilled.
