Adam Gilchrist
Source: [1], February 11 2007

Adam Craig Gilchrist (born 14 November 1971 in Bellingen, New South Wales), nicknamed Gilly or Church,[1] is an Australian cricketer.[2] He made his first–class debut in 1992, going on to make his first One-day International appearance in 1996 and his Test debut in 1999.[2] He has been Australia's vice- captain in both forms of the game since 2000, captaining the team when regular captains Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting were unavailable.[3][4]

Gilchrist is an aggressive left–handed batsman and effective wicketkeeper, combining the two roles for the Australian national team. He is considered to be one of the best wicketkeeper–batsmen in the history of the game,[5][6] and currently holds the record for the second fastest century in Test match history from 57 deliveries.[7]

He is noted for being a cricketer who has been reprimanded for outbursts on the pitch a number of times during his playing career, including being fined significant portions of his match fee.[8] He is also renowned for walking when he considers himself to be out, often contrary to the decision of the umpire.[9]

Early and personal life

Gilchrist was born in 1971 at Bellingen Hospital, in Bellingen, New South Wales. He and his family lived in Dorrigo for several years before moving to Lismore.[10] His parents, Stan and June, are still based in the region.[10]

Gilchrist is married to Mel and has two sons, Harrison and Archie, and a daughter Annie.[11][12] Archie's birth, due just before the start of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, had threatened Gilchrist's presence in the early stages of the tournament, but his early arrival means that Gilchrist will now be available for the whole competition.[12]

In June, 2004, Australian cricket sponsor Travelex appointed Gilchrist as a non–executive director of its Australasian board.[13] Gilchrist is also personally sponsored by PUMA, signing a multi–million dollar deal in May 2004.[2]

In early 2005, he was approached by the Boston Red Sox to play for them when his cricket career was at an end.[14]

Gilchrist is also an ambassador for World Vision charity group in India, where he is popular due to his cricketing achievements.[15]

Domestic career

His first–class debut for New South Wales was during the 1992–1993 season,[2] although he played purely as a batsman, due to the presence of incumbent wicketkeeper Phil Emery.[16] In his first season, the side won the Sheffield Shield, Gilchrist scoring an unbeaten 20 in the second innings to secure an easy win over Queensland in the Final.[17] He struggled to keep his place in the side, playing only three First-class matches in the following season.[18]

Gilchrist then joined Western Australia, where he replaced former Test player Tim Zoehrer as wicketkeeper. He made 55 dismissals in his first season, the most by any wicketkeeper in Australian domestic cricket in 1994/95.[19] His second season based in Perth saw him top of the dismissals again, with 58 catches and four stumpings, but, significantly, an impressive batting average of 50.52.[20] The Warriors made it to the final of the Sheffield Shield, at the Adelaide Oval, where Gilchrist made a massive 186* in the first innings, but, with the match ending in a draw, South Australia took the title having scored more points in the qualifying matches.[21]

International career

One day success

Gilchrist was called up for the Australian One–day International (ODI) team in 1996, his debut coming against South Africa at Faridabad, October 25 1996.[2][22] and becoming the 129th Australian ODI cap.[23] While not particularly impressive with the bat on his debut, scoring 18 before being bowled by Allan Donald, Gilchrist took his first catch as an international wicketkeeper, Hanse Cronje departing for a golden duck from the bowling of Paul Reiffel.[22] Gilchrist replaced Healy for the first two ODIs in the 1997 Australian tour of South Africa, with Healy being suspended for dissent,[24] but maintained his position as a batsman in the team after Healy's return as a specialist batsman after Mark Waugh sustained a hand injury.[citation needed] Gilchrist went on to play in the Texaco Trophy later in 1997 in the 3-0 series loss against England.[25]

Upon the start of the 1997/98 Australian season, both Healy and captain Mark Taylor were omitted from the ODI squad as the Australian selectors opted for a more aggressive batting style, choosing Gilchrist and Michael di Venuto. This was seen as being in response to the tactics of Sri Lanka's 1996 Cricket World Cup victory with aggressive wicket-keeper Romesh Kaluwitharana opening the batting with Sanath Jayasuriya.[citation needed] Gilchrist's elevation was made possible by a change in thinking by selectors, who announced that selection for ODI and Test teams would be separate, with Test and ODI specialists selected accordingly, while Healy remained the preferred Test wicket-keeper. The new team was unconvincing initially, losing all four of its round robin matches against South Africa, with multiple players used as Taylor's replacement as Mark Waugh's opening partner without success. Gilchrist also struggled batting in the lower order at No. 7, the conventional wicket-keeper's batting position, leading critics to question the judgment of the selectors. Gilchrist was the latest attempt to find an opening partner for Waugh when they walked out to attempt a run chase in the first final against South Africa, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In a particularly poor start to the new combination, Waugh was run out after a mix-up with Gilchrist. However, in the Second Final, Gilchrist struck a century to steer Australia's successful run-chase at the Sydney Cricket Ground, securing his position as an opening batsman.

Touring New Zealand in February 1998, Gilchrist achieved the highest average of all Australian batsmen with 50.00,[26] but significantly took his first ODI stumping, the wicket of Nathan Astle in the Second ODI in Wellington.[27] He went on to play in the Coca Cola Cup in Sharjah in April 1998, a triangular tournament between Australia, India and New Zealand. Australia finished runners-up in the tournament with Gilchrist taking nine dismissals as wicketkeeper and averaging over 37 with the bat.[28] An outstanding individual performance in the One-day Carlton & United Series in January and February 1999 against Sri Lanka and England resulted in Gilchrist finishing with a batting average of 43.75 with two centuries and fifty, with a highest score of 154, and a total of 27 dismissals in twelve matches.[29][30]

The 1999 tour of the West Indies continued to prove Gilchrist's ability as a batsman–wicketkeeper, with a batting average of just under 30 at a strike rate of nearly 90.00 and seven fielding dismissals in a seven–match series which ended 3-3 with one tie.[31]

Test cricket

He made his Test debut against Pakistan at the Gabba in November 1999,[32] becoming the 381st Australian Test cricketer.[33] He replaced Healy for the start of the series, despite Healy's entreaties to the selectors to allow him a farewell game in front of his home crowd.[34] Gilchrist's icy reception at the Gabba did not faze him,[35] with him taking five catches, stumping Azhar Mahmood off Shane Warne's bowling and scoring a rapid 81 runs, in a match which Australia won comfortably.[32] In his second Test match he made an unbeaten 149 to help guide Australia to victory in a game which looked well beyond Australia's reach.[36] Australia were struggling on 126–5 with a target of 369 to win as he joined his long–time friend and Western Australian team–mate Justin Langer to put on a record breaking partnership to enable Australia win the Test.[36][37]

In the Third Test against New Zealand in 2000, Gilchrist recorded the third–best Test performance ever by a wicketkeeper, taking ten catches in the match.[38] Gilchrist went on to play a pivotal role in the 2001 Ashes series which Australia won 4-1, with a batting average of 68.00 and 26 dismissals in the five match series.[39]

He briefly held the record for the fastest double century in Tests,[40] requiring 212 balls for the feat in a Test against South Africa in Johannesburg in January 2002.[41] This was eight balls quicker than Ian Botham's stand against India at The Oval in 1982.[42] The record was then broken again, with 59 deliveries to spare, in a remarkable innings by New Zealand's Nathan Astle in March of that year.[43]

Adam Gilchrist's career performance graph as of 2007-01-10.

At one point in March 2002, his average was over 60, and was the second–highest in Test history.[44]

His aggressive batting and ability as wicketkeeper has meant that Gilchrist has become a vital member of the Australian side, his importance underlined by the fact he has captained Australia in both forms of the game.[3][4] Gilchrist was captain of the Australian side, in place of the injured Ricky Ponting,[45] that won the series 2–1 on their 2004 tour of India, the first Australian side to do this since 1969.[46] His Test batting average is just under fifty at 48.8, remarkably high for a wicket–keeper.[47] He is currently 45th on the all–time list of highest batting averages.[47]

In early 2005, he hit three successive centuries against Pakistan and New Zealand.[48][49][50]

However, since the 2005 Ashes series, Gilchrist's Test form has been in decline,[51] and between the end of this series and the commencement of the 2006/2007 series he averaged just 25,[51] with a solitary hundred coming against Bangladesh.[52]

During 2005, he suffered from a prolonged slump in form, leading for calls for him to be dropped down the order from opening batsman to as low as number seven.[53] After having been rested for two games he returned to his best against Sri Lanka on 29 January, 2006 on his home ground, the WACA, hitting 116 runs off 105 balls to lead Australia to victory.[53] He also secured the VB Series with the fastest century by an Australian in just 67 balls against Sri Lanka at the Gabba.[54]

On December 16, 2006, during the Third Ashes Test at the WACA, Gilchrist scored 102 not out in 57 balls, the second fastest recorded Test century.[7] At 97 runs from 54 balls, Gilchrist needed three runs from the next delivery to better Viv Richards' record set in 1986.[55] The ball delivered by Matthew Hoggard was wide, some have speculated deliberately, and Gilchrist was unable to score from it.[56] He later claimed that the astonishing slogfest was inspired by a miscommunication with the Australian captain Ricky Ponting, misinterpreting a directive not to score quick runs with a view to declaring the innings.[57]

After earlier indicating that it was highly likely that he would retire after the 2007 Cricket World Cup,[58] he has recently stated his desire to continue playing on after the tournament.[59]

Style of play

Gilchrist's attacking batting has been a key part of Australia's one–day success, as he usually opens the batting. He was a part of both the successful 1999 and 2003 Cricket World Cup campaigns.[60][61] Gilchrist's skills as a wicketkeeper are sometimes questioned; few people would claim that he is the best keeper in Australia, for instance, Victorian wicketkeeper Darren Berry was regarded by many as the best Australian keeper of the 1990's and early 2000's.[62][63] In this role, he is perhaps disadvantaged by his relatively tall stature for a pure wicketkeeper. However, while perhaps not as elegant as some he has managed to wicketkeep to legspinner Shane Warne effectively for many years, pulling off many stumpings, missing relatively few catching chances and letting through relatively few byes.[citation needed]

At Old Trafford in August 2005 he passed Alec Stewart's world record of 4,540 runs as a Test wicketkeeper,[64] and statistically, he is currently the best ODI wicketkeeper in history.[65] With 376 catches and 46 stumpings, a total of 422 dismissals, his closest rival, Mark Boucher, is almost 70 dismissals behind.[65]

Walking and discipline

Cricket has for many years debated whether batsmen should "walk", ie agree that they have been dismissed and leave the field of play without waiting for (or contrary to) an umpire's decision. Gilchrist reignited this debate by walking during a high-profile match, the 2003 World Cup semi-final against Sri Lanka.[66]

Gilchrist has since proclaimed himself to be "a walker", ie a batsman who will consistently walk,[67] and has done so on numerous occasions.[66][68] On one occasion against Bangladesh Gilchrist walked and TV replays failed to suggest any edge.[68]

Gilchrist's actions sparked debate amongst current and former players and umpires.[9] Ricky Ponting has declared on several occasions that he is not a walker but will leave it to each player to decide whether they wish to walk or not.[69] While no Australian top order batsman have expressly declared themselves to be walkers, Jason Gillespie and Michael Kasprowicz both walked during Test matches in India in 2004.[70]

Opinion among commentators and the general public has also been divided - many have lauded his honesty, while some respected commentators are of the opinion that walking is disrespectful to the umpire.[70] In 2004, New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming accused Gilchrist of a "...walking crusade..." when Craig McMillan refused to walk after Gilchrist had him caught an edge from the bowling of Jason Gillespie in the First Test between Australia and New Zealand, in Brisbane.[71] Gilchrist goaded McMillan about the edge, who responded by turning around and angrily exchanged words, which the stump microphone picked up: "...not everyone is walking Gilly ... not everyone has to walk, mate...".[71] The taunt was effective however, as McMillan, perhaps distracted, missed the next ball and was given out LBW.[citation needed]

Gilchrist is also known for his emotion on the cricket field, and has been fined multiple times for dissent against umpiring decisions.[8][72][73] In January 2006, he was fined 40% of his match fee in an ODI against South Africa.[8][74]
