Guest Hiten. Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Gilly's cricketing life in pictures Adam Gilchrist with the ball in the palm of his hand as Darren Lehmann looks on . ...Australia v Australia 'A', Sydney Cricket Ground, Sunday December 14th 1997. Gilchrist wowed the international stage with his awesome hitting at the top of the order in ODIs, and his attitude set the tone for many youngster to follow Healy's retirement allowed Gilchrist the chance to impress in the Test format, and the two shakes hands on the eve of his debut Adam Gilchrist signs autographs for fans during the post-lunch delay, Bangladesh v Australia, 2nd Test, Chittagong, 2nd day, April 17, 2006
Chaos Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 got to be my 2nd favorite cricketer after sachin. I will really miss him.
koksmayu Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 i posted this thread how come talksport got from me? explanation plz
King Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Huge blow for Australia. It was McGRath, Warne and Langer last year. Now it's Gilchrist. It almost feels like an end of an era. Fantastic player and entertainer Gilly is. I'll miss him dearly. Whenever you talk about wicket keeper batsman, the talk will start with Gilly. He sure revolutionized batting in test cricket coming at no.7 Fantastic impact player and the world cricket will miss him dearly.
talksport Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 explanation plz You were one day late mate and hence MODs merged the threads. So before you break the news you have to check if it is not already broken:D
Guest HariSampath Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I was just looking thru Gilly's career, maaaan this fellow has SO many match turning hundreds in his career, simply turning a game on its head with a 100 and winning it from nowhere...I doubt if Aus can find a replacement for him as a batter alone...forget about a keeper/bat
Rajiv Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Have a fitting headline for him GLLY WALKS FOR GOOD
Guest Hiten. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Thank you GILLY ....for all the wonderful memories that you have given us to cherish for years to come by. Make this an official Gilly Tribute thread for the thorough entertainer of the game :yay: Ciao Churchie :(( :two_thumbs_up:
Dravid Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 another 1 goes..:(( soon cricket will be full of idiots like yuvi:(( :hatsoff: gilly
Online Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Thank you gilly - you will remain an inspiration forever :hatsoff: :((
Chaos Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 He is right up there. Sachin and Gilly are the best players of the millinium. Cricket will be boring with out these 2!
simba28 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 No more Gilly!! Thats a sad thought for every true cricket fan.. He brought a completely new flavour to this game.. A true inspiration.. totally unselfish, always playing for the team.. It was always a treat to watch him bat.. A true champion ...
Chaos Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I never felt sad like this. That moment felt like he was my family member. Not cried for other opposition batsman retiring, but today is such a sad day. Thx for the moment's gilly. you are LEGEND.
Gambit Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Without doubt, one of the three sureshot selections in an all time test XI(other two being Bradman and Sobers). Before he came along, captains expected a gritty 50-60 at the max from a #7 but he completely changed the rule book. How many times have we seen him deliver one stunner after another from that now dreaded #7 spot. My two fav Gilly knocks are the 204 v RSA in 2002(when the idiots sledged him regarding the Slater incident only to see him blast the then fastest 200 ) and the stunning 122 v India at Mumbai in 2001. Hats off to one of the greatest cricketers of all time! :isalute:
Gambit Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 A salute to one of the icons of world cricket in the last 10 years and without doubt, the best batsman wicketkeeper ever! He always played cricket in the right spirit and is a role model for all. Gilly will be missed. :(
ludhianvi Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 yep, with all the euphoria (is the right word?) , lets not forget Gilly's retirement. And also Hogg. Well Played Gilly.
Cricketics Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Really Sad To See All Cricketing Greatz Leaving Year By Year Anywayz, Well Done Gilly.. U Legend.. Look Forward To See U Play In Ipl.. U Will Be Missed In Int'l Cricket
