Carl Gill was born in Barbados on 19 January 1941 and enjoyed the standard cricketers up-bringing of backyard cricket with older cousins and then some lower grade club cricket. Through Carl’s job on refrigerated ships, that travelled across the world , he first visited New Zealand in 1966, returning often. In 1976 a friend introduced him to his wife to be, Leonie Gill (Eastern Ward Councillor 4 1998-2013) and in 1977 he moved permanently to NZ. They were living in Kilbirnie and on seeing cricketers playing on Kilbirnie Park, Leonie phoned the Kilbirnie Cricket Club and arranged for Carl to attend practice. Starting down the grades he rose through the grades eventually playing a few games for the Senior/Premier team. Carl was a fast Bowler in those days and although he was 45 years old by the time I first faced him in 1986 as a 16 year old, he could still get it through! Carl bowled both outswing and inswing and was happy bowling over or around the wicket. Although a fearsome sight charging in with the wind at his back, Carl relied on his skill and pace rather than any sort of sledging or verbals. After beating the bat he would simply return to his mark and charge in again. A pulled muscle caused by a slip on the turf, lead to a change to medium pace and spin. In his early 50’s, an operation to remove a benign tumour from between his lung and ribs left his left shoulder weakened so Carl gave up the medium pacers for good. Spin only from now on. Although he had the odd 8 for, and a few 7 for’s from the fast bowling days, so far, they have not been repeated with spin. A hatrick and a 4 wickets in 5 balls has.Carl generally bats down the order, but has managed a top score of 62 n.o Carl is still playing in the 2 day grade for the Bulldogs at the age of 77, and is a fantastic example to everyone that age is just a number. Carl plays cricket because he loves it and he enjoys the company of the great teammates he has. Carl may not be the feared fast bowler I once knew, but he amazingly looks just the same! I look forward to seeing Carl and the Bulldogs down at the Clubrooms for many more seasons to come.
