Eng vs Aus, World Cup semi-final, Leeds 1975 - Eng innings

  England lost the toss and were put into bat in what proved an amazing semi-final. Their batsmen were confronted by hostile Australian bowlers for whom the planets had aligned: the Headingly pitch was a seaming greentop, the weather was humid and overcast and a strong breeze blew almost perfectly left-to-right across the wicket. In stepped 23-year-old left-arm swing bowler Gary Gilmour, a late inclusion playing only his third one-day international. Extracting significant swing both ways and movement off the pitch, Gilmour troubled the English batsmen from the get-go. In 12 straight overs he snared 6/14, four of these LBW, one a brilliant diving catch by Rodney Marsh to remove Tony Grieg. England crumbled to be all out for 93 in just 36.2 overs - although at 7/37 this could have been significantly worse. Only captain Mike Denness (27) and tail-ender Geoff Arnold (18*) reached double-figures. Match scorecard: www.cricinfo.com Yours in cricket, The Third Ump
