Bye bye Gilli :-)

Could have easily put this one on my other blog; the cricket one.

But Adam Gilchrist is much more than just your normal cricketer. And I would just want to salute a great man, an amazing human being and one of the best cricketers and the Bradman of 'keepers.
Salute the cleanest amongst the 'ugly Aussies'.
Salute the man for the pure delight and pleasure he provider to many a fans.
Salute the grace with which he conducted himself.
We shall miss you. Surely.

The above is when Gilchrist announced himself to the world, with an amazing, back-to-the-wall effort against Pakistan at Hobart in 1999.



And this is the last time he gets out onto a cricket field in a Test. Wonder what it feels like, when it ends.

Anything that is close to heart.
