It was a rare treat for Gillespie, who played only 52 of a possible 92 Tests after his debut thanks to an assortment of ailments: busted feet, stress fractures in the back, hip twinges, side strains, dicky shoulders, torn calves, aching hamstrings, groin complaints and a broken right leg. Each time he recovered and until being dropped during the Ashes he had missed only two Tests since November Through it all, in partnership with Glenn McGrath, he blossomed into one half of Australia's most statistically successful opening pair ever. But if McGrath's strength was his ability to make the ball do just enough, then Gillespie's flaw is his tendency for it to do too much. No other contemporary fast man has elicited so many plays-and-misses. It explains, perhaps, along with his slightly samey length, why Gillespie never quite imposed himself as Australia's No. 1 strike bowler. Nor has he truly dominated an opposition line-up; remarkably, the most wickets he has taken in a single series is Operating from a shorter reconfigured run-up, he is not so consistently quick and in England Michael Vaughan treated Australia's fifth most successful bowler like a medium-pacer. However, few Australian fast men can have owned such deep wells of tenacity. Gillespie bowls long spells in the hottest conditions - always uncomplainingly, and always with the seam upright and the ball jagging both ways - and he showe Jason Gillespie had all the ingredients of a typical 90s fast bowler - flowing mane, bubbling aggressiveness and a steely resolve to bowl long spells.

Although injuries crippled him throughout his career, he still managed to be a vital cog of Australia's bowling unit during their golden era in international cricket. Gillespie also provided the ideal foil for Glenn McGrath as the duo became the most successful Australian bowling partnership of all times. McGrath's unerring accuracy blended really well with Gillespie's fiery aggression as the duo almost always made optimum use of the new ball to slice through the opposition top order. Since his playing days, 'Dizzy' as he is fondly known, has taken to coaching and established himself as one of the best in the department. .Jason Gillespie
