Jason Gillespie was one of Australia's prominent bowlers in the late 90s/early 00s.
While often overshadowed by Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne, Gillespie's pace and consistency made him an important member of one of Australia's most lethal bowling attacks.
He played 71 test matches, 97 ODIs, and is a member of the elusive 100 wickets and 1000 runs club.
Nicknamed 'Dizzy', he quickly burst onto the scene, debuting for Australia at the age of 21. By doing so, Gillespie made history as the first male Aboriginal player to play test cricket.
Despite his talent, injuries plagued him throughout his career, limiting his opportunities and missing 40 out of 92 test matches between his debut and the 2005 Ashes series.
He finished with 259 Test wickets with an average of 26.13, and 142 ODI Wickets at an average of 25.42.
Currently, he is Australia's ninth-highest wicket-taker, and 44th overall.
We take a look at five of Jason Gillespie's career-best moments.
3. Tearing through the West Indian top order
In the 2000 Boxing Day Test, the West Indian team had come off a few disappointing losses throughout their tour. Already down 0-3 in the series, the Windies team looked to take down the Aussies with an improved showing.
After keeping Australia to 364 runs in the first innings, the West Indies looked to get off to a big start. However, Gillespie had other ideas, taking the first two wickets and leaving the opposition at 2-6. He finished with three wickets for the innings.
After excellent bowling in the first innings, Gillespie came out on a mission in the second taking over the match. Any heroic comeback was shattered by his lethal pace.
Taking the big wickets of Daren Ganga, Wavell Hinds and Brian Lara in each of his first three overs, he left the Windies at 7/3. His next spell of three wickets left them at 23/6 with the game all but over.
His destruction of the West Indian batters will go down as one of his most dangerous bowling spells, with his perfect delivery to Brian Lara being a highlight.
