Anthony Lorraine "Lorrie" Wilmot (1 June 1943 – 29 February 2004) was a South African first-class cricketer from Cape Province who played from 1960–61 to 1988–89.
A big hitting right-handed batsman, Wilmot is said to have once hit a six off New Zealand spinner John Sparling that went 120 metres.[1]
His highest score of 222 not out made against Southern Rhodesia in 1965–66 was at the time the second highest score achieved by an Eastern Province batsman.[2]
