Adam Gilchrist is my favourite player and will be sadley missed, but he made it clear that he would only go out on his terms and not be forced to quit.
On Saturday he made the announement that he is retieing from all forms of cricket, which came as a shock to everyone around the cricketing world.
He was in my opinion, The Greatest Wicketkeeper Batsman in the history of the game, and will be missed dearly.
He was a great Wicketkeeper, Batsman and Entertainer.
His Test Carrer was fantastic, despite a glitch in the radar over the past 2 years.

Test Career
Matches: 96 (1999-2008)
Innings: 137
Not Out: 20
Runs: 5570
Average: 47.61
Highest Score: 204*
50's: 26
100's: 17
200's: 1
Ducks: 14
Strike Rate: 81.96

But you cant just focus on his stats, the way he plays was a entertainement to Regulars and New-Comers to the game.

You will be missed Gilly

Brad Haddin will most likely take over, he is he next best in Australia to Gilly.

Brad Haddin will probably take over a wicket keeper but who will open the one day batting?

Clarke maybe? Or just chuck Haddin straight in there?

Oh well, we don't have to worry about that til after this next series, as he's still playing this upcoming tri-series
