Mcllwaine was born in the Milton area of Portsmouth in March 1950, where he was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School.[1] A club cricketer for Waterlooville Cricket Club, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Northamptonshire at Bournemouth in the 1969 County Championship.[2] Notably on debut, he shared in a partnership of 36 for the tenth wicket with Barry Richards, which likely helped Hampshire to avoid the follow-on.[3] After making a further appearance that in season against Surrey, he went on to make two appearances in the 1970 County Championship against Sussex and Glamorgan.[2] He scored 29 runs in his four matches,[4] in addition to taking 4 wickets at an average of 68.25, with best figures of 2 for 40.[5] Mcllwaine left Hampshire to pursue a career as a teacher, undertaking his teacher training by 1972.[3]
