Gilchrist needs just 3 sixes
The Australian wicket-keeper and explosive batsman, Adam Gilchrist who is known for his aggressive style of playing cricket is now just 3 sixes away from becoming the first test cricket player to hit 100 sixes within a career. He is currently ahead of Brian Lara of the West Indies cricket team who has hit 87 sixes in a span of 131 matches.
During a training camp at the Academy when he was in an under-17 squad Gilchrist was singled out because he hit too many boundaries. “One of the coaches dissected an innings that each of us played during a match and the feedback I got was that they were disappointed because I hit 24 with six fours,” he told The Australian. “The impression I got was that they were disappointed I didn’t rotate the strike and pick up ones and build an innings. I’ve never forgotten that. (CricInfo)
