Gilchrist will always be remembered as a player who played with the true spirit. One occasion i remember was in 2003 world cup semi final. World cup semi final is a massive game for any team. But he just walked even when umpire gave him not out.
Gilchirst played many remarkable innings none better than one to chase a big 369 against Pakistan when the team was 125-5. If someone choses all time greatest world 11, Brain lara , sachin or ponting may be or may not be there but one name will be unanimous and is almost certain to be there in anyone's book is Adam Gilchrist because no other wicketkeeper has such a great record.
He is a world record holder by wicket keeper with maximum dismissal. And dont forget his batting an average of 48 with an astonishing strike rate of 82 in test.
