Gilly Retires
One of the most important reasons for the Australian cricket team's phenomenal success has been this man. He was one player..who for a long time was the worlds best wicketkeeper and to top it all one of the real match turners coming at no 7, while batting. I am talking about test cricket here ofcourse. Gilchrist i feel was the element that really made the aussies invincible. Other teams had good bowlers, good batters, better captains, but none had a player of the worth of gilchrist's class coming at 7. A truly great player, and one of my favourite players of all times. Have fun in your retirement man..you deserve it

ReplyDeletebut thts what se[parates good from the great
ReplyDeleteMcgrath was great..stuart clark is good...let us see whter haddin is good..forget a great like gilly. there ll be no another gilly
Whats even more remarkable is his on field behaviour given the current standards of his team .. While Ponting and Co. have disguised arrogance and stuff as a mark of 'mateship' Gilly offered a perfect blend of attacking cricket with great on field behaviour that his mates will do well to learn from.
ReplyDelete@ Baidik - Exactly..thts the most endearing feature of him
ReplyDeletebut his ability to defend will always be questioned. And he looks older than his age
