Adam Gilchrist

[Eclipse]

I know but I dont see why he cant continue to make more runs.

Yes, but you said he hadn't made that many.

 

[Thelwell]

Nice to see my man do the business Vs. India today, knew he'd do good

Although Symonds hittin Pathan onto the WACA roof was undoubtabley the highlight of the game.

 

[Richard]

He hit Kartik onto the roof, he hit Pathan over it.
For me the highlight of the game was Bichel being hammered around the ground.

Gilchrist has had a golden summer with the bat in the VB Series.

Great to watch

 

[SquidAU]

And what about those who said Gilly was out of form........

 

[Richard]

Gilchrist ... Great to watch

Hmm...:wow:
That's a MOO.
I don't enjoy watching him bat at all.
But if some do, then that's of course up to them.

 

[Richard]

And what about those who said Gilly was out of form........

"Form", that great deceptive term.
What does it mean? He wasn't especially hitting the ball badly in the Test-series, he just didn't score many runs.
He has been hitting the ball well in the ODIs (and he has also had his customary excessive share of luck) and the stats favour him.
But stats in one form of the game don't mean much as to the other. If Gilchrist's Test failures continue in Sri Lanka, he'll still be out of the runs there.

thats right, alot of people do enjoy watching him bat, and everyone knows you dont enjoy watching him bat, so i dont think you need to repeat it....

you seriously need to get over this, its trhe biggest load of crap i have ever heard

 

[Richard]

No, it's not.
You seriously need to get over total ignoring of blatant facts.
Gilchrist needs dropped catches to score runs most of the time. I don't mind so much in ODIs as in Tests, but it's still true.

* suggests Age looks at Richard's various other theories *

 

[Richard]

Such as?
Judging a bowler on what he bowls, rather than on how the batsmen play, perhaps?

 

[Thelwell]

Thought Gilly was deverstating the other night, really punished the indian attack.

The catch he took standing up harvey showed that he's also a top class keeper as well as an amazing batsman.

Hope to see him do more of the same tonight!

 

[Richard]

Didn't exactly need to!

 

[Thelwell]

Man of thr series, say no more!

He's been simply amazing.
