'Gilly' is the tragic account of a West Indian fast bowler whose rise to greatness was undermined by his volatile temperament on and off the field. Banned from Test cricket for dangerous bowling at age 24, his refusal to curb his aggressive behaviour and chaotic lifestyle led to constant scrapes with authority and, ultimately, to a life unfulfilled.
