Former Australian wicketkeeper Gil Langley has died, aged 81.
The Wisden almanack named Langley one of their five cricketers of the year in 1957, despite being part of a well-beaten Australian side in England in 1956 and missing two tests because of injury.
In the Lord's test of 1956, Langley completed nine dismissals, then a world record.
He played 26 tests in the 1950s, taking 83 catches and making 15 stumpings.
Langley also played Australian Rules football for South Australia.
