Cricket World Cup 1975 - Part II



1st Semi Final - Australia vs. England


Cricket's traditional rivalry between the Australia cricket team and the England cricket team was on display in the first semi final at Headingly. Australia won the toss and put England in. Gary Gilmour (6/14), with his left arm in-swingers troubled the England top order from the start. With the help of Max Walker (3/22), Gilmour helped Australia bundle out the England team for only 93 in 36.2 overs.



In their reply, Australia did not find it easy against Chris Old and John Snow. They lost 6/39 before an unbeaten 55 run partnership between Doug Walters and Gilmore made sure that Australia made it to the finals.
