Adam Gilchrist shrugged off a form slump to hammer the second-fastest century in Test cricket against England in Perth in 2006

Gilly fan here, but he did miss a few one-day matches, albeit not due to injuries or slump in form. He was rested a couple times to play Haddin in the Tri-series involving South Africa and Sri Lanka in 2006. He also took a break for the birth of his child in the Chapell-Hadlee series before the 2007 world cup. But yeah, he did play 96 test matches without a break. Unbelievable, if you consider the fact that he was Keeper and also the opening batsman in the limited overs

@@SASUKE-ARYAN Dhoni 103 test matches at number 7 with an average of 30.54. Gilchrist 100 test matches at number 7 with an average of 46.45, with 12 centuries at number 7, that's literally DOUBLE his nearest competitor. DOUBLE. In the entire history of test cricket. Dhoni has only 2 at number 7. No one is even close to gilly from this position, because no one else can make those scores from that late in the game. Dhonis average goes up to 38.09 when you look at his runs from all positions, because he was playing as early as number 3 which gave him the time to work up a decent innings without as much risk. If you take into account Gillys scores from other positions (sometimes 6) he has 17 hundreds with an average of 47.6. Imagine if he started at 3 like Dhoni has and had time to get himself in and craft innings after innings without having to rush. His average would probably be mid 50s with another 10 hundreds on the books. In the history of the game only 2 players who had the majority of their innings at number 7 had an average of just above 40 over their careers. There were times when gilly was over 50. He is hands down the best Batsman who wicket kept ever.

I still remember 2006-07 ashes series second test match at Adelaide. Australia needed some 170 runs to win in 35 overs or so. But that Australian team managed it so easily. Such level of determination to continue their dominance at that time. Its sad Cricket is no longer like that.

Sanga was great I’d say technically better batting wise but gilly brought that X factor to a already star studded team and when gilly use to walk out to the crease you knew not to leave your tv coz there was going to be fireworks as a kid I was a Ponting fanatic still am my favourite player but gilly got me pumped up when he was out in the middle

@sandeepgoud1311 4 жыл бұрын

sandeep choura Sanga hardly avgd 40 as a keeper & mostly bashed the minnows. Gilly scored test tons mostly when it mattered. Sanga became a run machine post 2008 when he played just as a batsman, by the time which Gilly already retired. Gilly redefined the role and is the best ever.

Adam Gilchrist is My All Time Favourite Cricketer along with Rahul Dravid 17 100 as WKB batting at No 7 in Test Cricket with an average close to 50 with strike rate above 80. He had attained career best average of 62 as WKB. Among the Players who have scored more than 2000 runs only 27 players had attained more than 58 average they are 1. Don Bradman (AUS) 2. Garfield Sobers (WI) 3. Wally Hammond (ENG) 4. Herbert Sutcliffe (ENG) 5. Everton Weekes (WI) 6. Len Hutton (ENG) 7. Vivian Richards (WI) 8. Jack Hobbs (ENG) 9. Ken Barrington (ENG) 10. Neil Harvey (AUS) 11. Brian Lara (WI) 12. Dennis Compton (ENG) 13. Clyde Walcott (WI) 14. Adam Gilchrist (AUS) 15. Ricky Ponting (AUS) 16. Steve Smith (AUS) 17. Michael Hussey (AUS) 18. George Headley (WI) 19. Graeme Pollock (SA) 20. Sachin Tendulkar (IND) 21. Kumar Sangakkara (SL) 22. Matthew Hayden (AUS) 23. Rahul Dravid (IND) 24. Javed Miandad (PAK) 25. Greg Chappell (AUS) 26. Jacques Kallis (SA) 27. Sunil Gavaskar (IND) Kumar Sangakkara had attained average of more than 58 when he played as pure batsman. His average was 40 as WKB. Among all the 27 players who had attained career best average of 58 or more only Adam Gilchrist and Clyde Walcott are Wicketkeepers. Even Clyde Walcott played as pure batsman more often than not. This is an indication of how good Birthday Boy Adam Gilchrist was There are very rare batsman in cricket History who Combined Beauty , Aggressiveness , Stroke making , Technical Skills , Destructiveness , Temperament , Game Reading and an All Round Batting Artistry, and Adam Gilchrist is Exceptional among all the greats who have Graced the game itself. Adam Gilchrist is one of his own kind.

It is great to know that Glichrist completely rewrote the way wicket keepers are viewed and valued in an international team. A pure wicket keeper with a test batting average hovering around 50 was unheard of in the world cricket till the emergence of Gilchrist. And his style of fast scoring and reliable hands behind the wicket laid template and set the high standard for future stars as Dhoni, Sangakkara, Bairstow etc.

He was a great test cricketer coming at lower middle order no doubt, but if you are comparing them by strike rates, then don't forget Sehwag's numbers as well. Coming at 6 or 7 when the team is already at strong position while the opposition bowlers are tired is quite different than opening the innings with fresh bowlers and yet with such high strike rate.
