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.
2. Career Best 7/37 against England
The Australian tour of England and Scotland was one of the longest for Australia, starting in May and finishing at the end of August.
Coming into the fourth test of the series, the Aussies found themselves tied 1-1 against England.
Australia needed someone to break the deadlock. That ended up being Gillespie, who stepped up for his country.
In his best bowling figures for a single inning, Gillespie broke the game open with consistent and lethal attack.
At 2-100, the game was in the balance. Gillespie went on to take six of the remaining eight wickets with the hosts only able to make 72 more runs in the process.
The collapse put Australia in a firm position in the match and ended up being the deciding moment in the series.
Gillespie was awarded the Player of the Match for his efforts.
