Adam Gilchrist - by hairs breadth.

Both are legends of Australia & World Cricket, but i have to go Gilly over Lillee simply because i've had the please of seeing gilly play live, and unfortunately have only replay's to see of Lilee's hayday's.

Yikes - hell of a match up.

Um... Gilchrist, just. Because of his contributions in two facets as a keeper and a batsman.

ohh. tough call this one.

Going to go with Gilchrist for the way he has changed the role of keepers, providing pure enterntainment over the years and being a great sportsman as well.

Really tough matchup. I guess I'll go with Gilchrist, for the simple reason that he's the best ever player in his position, while Lillee isn't necessarily.

Toughest battle yet. Both are all time greats in their positions but I'll go with Gilchrist.
