Gilchrist looking good here, another 10 overs of this an australia could be getting the bonus point.

Crikey this Sri Lankan guy Ganegama looks absolutely appaling, the new Rikki Clarke, but worse! Even I fancy a hit against him..

Yeah he's been smacked by Adam Gilchrist. What a loser.......... 8-)
Yet continued to bowl full and on the off stump of one of the greatest players in the world in that area, for the rest of the over... Nice going

Have you seen him bowl in these last two matches? It wouldnt matter if it was Gilchrist or Sibanda - he was going to get hammered regardless.

Number 1, two of the boundaries were hit off full balls, the other two were back of a length and hit on the up (just saw the replay). When someone is hitting the ball through the line on the up on a fairly flat deck, it's pretty tough to stop.

Number 2, what was he supposed to do, bowl short on leg-stump? He tried bringing the length back and still got spanked; very little he could do.

That's what Gilchrist does to the bowlers when he's in full flight...:D

Mix his pace up, mix the angle he hits the crease at, anything.. I know he bowled one over at one of the greatest players ever but he was pants the other night as well..

Wonderful ton from Gilly.

Everyone is saying how good Katich has supported Gilchrist... but what happens if Adam gets out? Does he support everyone else? When Jaques played, everyone fell around him and he supported them... by plowing runs!

If Gilchrist gets out, then Katich will has to assume the dominant role. He doesnt have to do so at the moment though, and he has done a fine job of what he has been required of him in this innings.

Onya Gilly, could do with some demoralized Sri Lankans when we play them..

Im loving the dance-garage vibe they have going on at Perth tonight..

Hear hear. I went to the game on Thursday and the music was awesome when they weren't playing classic (c)rock. 'bout time they didn something to make the ODI's more of a carnival. The extreme heat that day gave the ground a bit of a hazy feel too so I definitely thought I was at a rave a few times. :D

Good knock from Gilly. When he gets going he has this quite intense look in his eyes. Excellent to see it back and long may it continue!

And go Kat!
