Robbored Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Sky do many cricket programmes including the Masterclass series. They also made a "Crickets Greatest" series. Gilchrist is in both series and in the latter the programme was filmed at the WACA. He was asked about the bowlers he just couldn't read and the first one he mentioned was Murali. " I had no idea what the ball would do". The second bowler he mentioned was Flintoff. " when he changed from over the wicket to around it, I knew I'd be in trouble". He also described how he developed his wicket keeping skills and said keeping to Warne was a complete joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am more Glos than Somerset Tom so I'm not entirely sure, but is it just me or is Tres past it? He's ok in the four day stuff. One Day/T20 stuff he's pretty much past it. However this is more a case that our spinner has been shite all year. Time to get Jack Leach back in the side.

Aussie Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Gilchrist was fantastic, I agree. I'm a fan - though I'd prefer Healy but that's just me being the parochial Queenslander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Healy's comment to Arjun Ranatunga probably seals him in the legend status alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Gilchrist was fantastic, I agree. I'm a fan - though I'd prefer Healy but that's just me being the parochial Queenslander. It was Healy who taught Gilchrist how to keep wicket and develop a positive outlook when the match wasn't going your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Englands session that. Just about parity overall I'd say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Englands session that. Just about parity overall I'd say? I'd say we're just ahead given that both batsmen are in and neither have looked in much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'd say we're just ahead given that both batsmen are in and neither have looked in much trouble. Go along with that, probably going to jinx them here, but they seem set and good to bat through now Nothing happening with the pitch, all depends how it plays days 4 and 5 and if Ali can get it to turn. The next 3 days are set fair weather wise, tempted to put a few quid on the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Two quick wickets and its pretty dire though. It's finely poised I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Such a classy player, but for god sake England leave where he is.. don't move him up to opening/3 again. He's clearly shown this is his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Such a classy player, but for god sake England leave where he is.. don't move him up to opening/3 again. He's clearly shown this is his best position. I dunno, given the struggles of those above him it's almost as if he's been batting at 3 for some time.

Not adverse to him going up to 3, more that he's been tried as opener and it didn't work. The form he's in right now, we should be building the team around him for the next 10 years.
