I know gilly struggling for form...what are his recent scores in Test and ODI like...

Is his slump similar or worse  than SRT or some other indian player approximately?

[gouravk]

I dunno but I guess he is OK in ODIs.

It is in tests that he has been doing pretty poorly.

Thanks...


ODI at 40+ is very healthy esp. given the speed at which Gilchrist scores.

TEST - bit of a slump, but still manageable for a player of his caliber...

I think he has quite a bit to offer for Aussie/Intl cricket still.

[senthilpeter]

One of the main reasons they lost the Ashes was that Gilly never managed to take off. Usually thru out his career he's bailed Aus out coming down the order, this dint happen in the Ashes. If this current Test run continues into the coming Ashes, and Aus dont regain the Ashes, he'll be announcing retirement sooner than we think.

Whats surely worrying about Gilly from the Aus perspective is the manner of his dismissals. In the Ashes, Eng - thanks to Fletcher/Cooley I suspect and the considerable skills of Flintoff - unvield the way to bowl to Gilly. Since then teams are looking to bowl to Gilly from around the stumps, a bit wide, and he duly obliges with a walk back. SA has been employing the same methods.
Maybe Gilly will start to be more patient, but then thats in itself a battle won for the opposition cos he doesn't take the game away from you so quickly anymore.

Agree. Gilly is pivotal to aussie success ... much more so than ponting mcgrath or warne .... and this i am not saying just in hindsight but i had said this much before the ashes started ... read here ....

wow, gourav not bad. ur call was on the money. End did cut him down to size alright and of course won the Ashes. Only ur suggested method of bowling to him (FF to his ribcage) was not the one that got him. They actually bowled fuller to him... whenever the ball straightened after pitching, he'd nick it trying to drive off the front foot or hit airily to gully off a backfoot punch/drive. And they cut off some of the boundary areas he loves, so it wasn't easy to just blaze away quick runs.

still ur blog pales in comaparison to that babe on ur thumbnail.. who it is? and how about a larger pic on the misc threads or something.

senthil
that is true. i had done a lot of effort on trying to devise strategies for england to win the ashes ... and i so wanted them to ... but somehow when they were actually winning i started to support australia ....

but anyway coming to the point that is miki van der westhuizen ... the reason i hate graeme smith so much ... you can put such things up here in some other section ?? I rarely ever visit the other sections.

  is Troy Cooley!

[gouravk]

oh yes i could very well be troy cooley ... looks like minki is picking some tips from me the way she is hiding that ball so as to not allow the batsmen to see which way it will swing ... now i for one dont advocate her doing that ..

[senthilpeter]

Gourav, I too discovered the Misc section only today.I believe its called ETC under Non-cricket. you shud be able to navigate there.

So GCSmith is that lucky bastard... such a ugly player... oh where is justice in this world.
