Jason Gillespie, Australia – Player profile

If Jason Gillespie’s in Australia’s World Cup squad there’s either been some sort of a disaster or some sort of monstrous turn around in Gillespie’s fortunes. Jason Gillespie was formerly a devastating fast bowler, like a patient, accurate Brett Lee. He bowled at over 90mph, swung the ball, seamed the ball. He was accurate. He produced sharp bounce.

These days Jason Gillespie is an ‘innocuoso’. That’s a word that we made up to describe someone who excels at the art of harmlessness.
