So humble considering he's the greatest keeper-batsman of all time!
One of the greatest.
@@prabodh11 the greatest
@@allahmotherfooker5593 U are right overall as Keeper batsman he was outstanding but as pure Gloveman Sure man Healy and Marshy are best i have seen since i watched the game but again Gilchirst kept wickets to Shane Warne for many Seasons and rarely saw him made any mistake.
Sangakkara is in my view
@@HR1983-v6d he kept in 48 test matches only, where he averaged 40.
That stumping was ridiculous. One of the fastest I’ve seen. He was moving his gloves to the bails before he even caught it
Gilly had more catches and stumpings than Healy in less tests, such an underrated keeper.
@@stevennorris7181 that's because of his batting ability. He was undoubtedly the greatest keeper of his time but it simply overlooked. Everyone wanted to see him bat.
Best wicketkeeper in the world.
DylTek. agree
@TechStack Reviews he just dropped a simple vvs catch in 2009 and call it a aday hr is greatest wicketkeeper or wicketkeeper batsman of all time
Kumar Sangakkara
@@jassa2160
Sangakkara did not keep much in Test Cricket
@TechStack Reviews best keeper must be boucher
2:52 - I remember this shot LIVE.
And I don't mean now that I see it again. I mean, I was actually wondering if this highlight reel was going to play it before I saw it and I waited for it in anticipation. The only thing different to my memory was that I thought it got up a bit higher.
I just remember it because little literal 10 year 2 month old me was glued to the tv, watching, absolutely gobsmacked at how easily, and the sheer display of dominance, that our DEBUTANTE keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist had over the FASTEST ENEMY BOWLER IN THE WORLD.
It was this exact shot and moment that etched the legend of Adam Gilchrist into my psyche. I just knew he'd be somebody. My 10yr old brain recognised greatness even if it couldn't comprehend or explain what it saw.
Best batsman/wicket keeper to ever play the game. A match winner so many times. Healy was great too, saved Australia so many times! Not taking any respect away from Healy but Gilchrist changed the cricket world.
Ian Healy played 119 Test Matches. He should have retired as soon as he played 100 Test Matches because Adam Gilchrist played 96 Test Matches without missing a single Test Match ever since he made his debut and he deserved to play 100+ Test Matches as Andy Flower and Adam Gilchrist are "Trendsetter Wicket Keeper Batsman". Because of them Wicket Keepers starting to improve their Batting like Kumar Sangakkara, Brendon Mccullum, MS Dhoni, Matt Prior, Quinton De Kock, Jos Buttler, BJ Watling, Jonny Bairstov,Rishab Pant, Dickwella and many more to come.
Tim Zoerher should have had a go before Healy. Tim was a twat though.
Warnie didn't even want Gilly to take the gloves...Warne. Great bowler. Absolute twat in terms of a team player.
Most underrated cricketer and I guess it happens when you play in an era where every member of your team is great in his department. Soft spoken and fantastic player to watch bat and keep wickets.
He is literally the most loved Australian cricketer of all time.
Every time a vote poll happens Gilly wins by a country mile lol
I remember his debut very well. Australia was on the way to becoming the greatest team of all time, and Gilchrist was the perfect number 7.
And rest was history 🌟💯
Not only you just maintained the earlier status of Oz wicketkeeper but also you raised the bar so high that any wicketkeeper batsman in world could not touch that height still.
The day when the great attacking wicketkeeper batsmen entered in to world cricket is none other than Adam gilchrist
Best batting lineup (Hayden gilly ponting Martyn waugh) vs best bowling lineup (wasim waqar shoaib Abdul Razzaq azher Mahmood saqlain mushy)
And who thought he would be the greatest wicket keeper batsman of all time ... wow gily the best
1 should have a book named after him.. 'Gilly the gentle goat🐐'
AB de Villiers would have been his right successor if he had not given up wicket keeping...
Coincidentally, new era of Australian cricket started with Gilchrist joining in the team.
People say Gilchrist wasnt as good a keeper as Healy and theyre probably right but Gilly keeping was very very solid and was spectacular at times too. Never felt he wasnt a natural keeper because he was such a top class wicket keeper.
Forget batting for a second,I think Gilchrist the keeper is really underrated.
1:57 how QUICK was that 😳
Gentleman Gilly
No Matter Of What,Gilly Remains Incomparable Player When Comes To Wicket Keeping And My All Time Favourite Too😍😘😗 Love From India💖💖
Sir you're turely God gift
Legend ..!
The great one that ever plays the game
Great player
At 3.12 when Akhtar clean bowled him,Larry says"Clean Bowled on debut on 81." But wasn't his debut against SL??
In a one day game perhaps. His Test debut was definitely against Pakistan
@@ahogg5960 odi debut Vs India in 1996
His test debut was against Pakistan no doubt
Malcolm Marshall died just a few hours before that game.
Really sad .
The crowd was socially distancing even back then lol !!
What a bowl....who can play that
Ian Healy should have retired earlier , for Gilchrist.
Maybe, but Healy is one of the best keepers of all time, certainly not the level of Gillies batting, but a much better gloveman.
@@lachyt5247 BS much better keeper. Gilly has more catches and stumpings than Healy even though he played 20 odd less test matches.Even if we assume healy was better keeper.
Its always better to have a good keeper and excellent batsmen than an excellent keeper and mediocre batsmen.
Due to healy and stupid selectors. We're robbed of few more years of gilchrist
Now it's time for Quinton decock
Gilly best
Gilly should have been in the side years earlier tbh
Tht bal tht got gilly was pure brutal though... Unplayable
No dangerous wicketkeeper batsman not seen after him that for sure
He hasn't changed one bit
Aw look. Gee mate. Strewth. Ripper. Ya great galah!
Best wicket ceepar world only one legend m s dhoni sir best batsman 🎩
😁
👕👍Great!
👖
Ian healey delayed this fantastic player's career.
First!!!!!
