Adam Gilchrist was a wonderful wicketkeeper-batsman and a treat to watch. It is heartening to know that he planned his retirement because he missed a couple of catches in the recent test series and felt that it may be time for him to bid adieu to the game so that the more spirited younger players may play for Australia. This was despite the fact that he was still in excellent form in the batting department. It’s a shame that the Indian cricketers lack such a spirit and attitude and are more bothered about their personal records and goals rather than the interest of the team.
