The only player in the Aussie team that I truely liked!! He has been a true sportsman...changed the face of wicketkeeping and wicketkeeper batsmen!! He is a true legend and with his retirement I see yet another hole in the making in the Australian line up!!

Now Aussie dont have a spinner......well McGill can turn the ball but for how long......hes already in the mid-thirties and is plagued by injuries these days!!!! To add to that, Aussie dont have that hard hitting batsman, and the force behind the stumps as well!! Gilchrist might have dropped some shitters lately but he has been the most consistent keeper I ve seen in the last 10 yrs along with Mark Boucher of SA!! I just want one more retirement and that of the giant Haydos and we will have 5-6 teams competiting for the top spot in cricket probably for the first time in cricket history!!!!! Wont that be great for the sport???

But damn those Aussies will find some fitting replacements and my dream of having a competitive circuit will remain as a dream!!!

Praying for the Proteas to step one step up the ladder!!!

Anyways Congratulations to Gilchrist for the glittering career he has had and setting a bench mark for all the keepers to follow!!
