Gilly

Gilly is the tragic account of a West Indian fast bowler whose rise to greatness was undermined by his volatile temperament on and off the field. Banned from Test cricket for dangerous bowling at age 24, his refusal to curb his aggressive behaviour and chaotic lifestyle led to constant scrapes with authority and, ultimately, to a life unfulfilled.

Gilly este relatarea tragica a unui bowler rapid din India de Vest a carui ascensiune la maretie a fost subminata de temperamentul sau volatil pe teren si in afara acestuia. Interzis de la test cricket pentru bowling periculos la varsta de 24 de ani, refuzul sau de a-si infrana comportamentul agresiv si stilul de viata haotic a dus la zgarieturi constante cu autoritate si, in cele din urma, la o viata neimplinita.
