Profile
Going in first or seventh, wearing whites or coloureds, Adam Gilchrist has been the symbolic heart of Australia's steamrolling agenda and the most exhilarating cricketer of the modern age. He is simultaneously a cheerful throwback to more innocent times, a flap-eared country boy who has walked when given not out in a World Cup semi-final, and swatted his second ball for six while sitting on a Test pair. "Just hit the ball," is how he once described his philosophy on batting, and he seldom strays from it. Employing a high-on-the-handle grip, he pokes good balls into gaps and throttles most others, invariably with head straight, wrists soft and balance sublime. Only at the death does he jettison the textbook, whirling his bat like a hammer-thrower, caring only for the scoreboard and never his average. Still he manages to score at a tempo - 81 per 100 balls in Tests, 96 in one-dayers - that makes Viv Richards and Gilbert Jessop look like stick-in-the-muds.
When he signed a record A$2million sponsorship deal with Puma in 2004, few people questioned his value for money. Indeed it was arguably Gilchrist's belated Test arrival that turned the present Australian XI from powerful to overpowering. He bludgeoned 81 on debut, pouched five catches and a stumping, and has barely paused for breath since. Only in the last 18 months has his appetite slowed - he was troubled by Andrew Flintoff's around-the-wicket barrage during 2005 and found the flaw difficult to overcome - and his match-turning 144 against Bangladesh in April was his first century in 16 Tests. Another limited-overs trough during the 2005-06 home summer prompted a couple of high-profiled observers to question his place as an opener, but he diffused the concern with typical swashbuckling.
In Tests, two Gilchrist innings rank among the most amazing by Australians: his death-defying unbeaten 149 against Pakistan at Hobart when all seemed lost, and his savage and emotional 204 not out against South Africa at Johannesburg. In one-dayers, his 172 is one short of Mark Waugh's Australian record and his overall number of career dismissals - he is currently at 393 - might take decades to top. A family man and dedicated newspaper columnist, his 2003 World Cup diary Walking To Victory was miles superior to Ricky Ponting and Glenn McGrath's meat-and-three-veg versions.
As Australia's 41st Test captain he found the extra burden tiring, and was happy for Ricky Ponting to step in once Steve Waugh retired. But as Ponting's fill-in he crossed the final frontier, leading Australia to their first series win in India for 35 years in 2004-05. As a wicketkeeper he lacks Rod Marsh's acrobatics and Ian Healy's finesse, and he probably peaked at 30 in 2002. But if he clutches few screamers he drops even fewer sitters and while his batting has started to lose its super powers his glovework is still purring. He is closing on Healy's record of 395 Test dismissals and already owns the most centuries of anyone to combine both roles.
