From the Vault: Gilchrist farewells MCG in style

Adam Gilchrist ensured his last match at the MCG was one to remember, smashing 83 off 50 balls against Sri Lanka in 2008

[@rameshadv1]

Gilly was such an impact player for Australia in Tests and ODIs. I mean other teams had a keeper who could bat a bit but Gilly could walk into the team purely as a batsman too. Imagine dismissing Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Martyn, Lehmann, Clarke, and then see Gilly walking to bat.

[@kwl189]

Utterly demoralising for the opposition let me tell you that! Exhausting day for the bowlers and fielders just working over the top and middle order. Then to see Gilly and Warne (top scorer in tests without making 100) knock you around...well is it any wonder they were one of the greatest test cricket teams of all time?

[@patheddles4004]

@@kwl189We eventually got to the point where we didn't really have a tail end at all. Warne was actually good, Gillespie was a talented slogger or an immovable wall depending on what the team needed, and even Glenn McGrath worked hard on his batting and stopped being terrible. And let's not forget, Gillespie has a Test double-century and Warne has a 99. That team was very stacked.
