Ritchie Benaud called him the hardest hitter of a cricket ball that he has seen. He might well add that he is the luckiest batsman he has ever seen.
Great bat....but does seem to enjoy more than his fair share of luckcricket player said:If you want to be a hard hitting batsman you might want to have some luck to go with that.Oh....dear dont listen to ritchie benaud he spoiled cricket 2004.
When Gilly does get a chance more is made of it than any another player because giving him a chance can cost a great deal.zinzan12 said:Great bat....but does seem to enjoy more than his fair share of luck
IMO he seems to get more chances than most and umpiring decisionsScallywag said:When Gilly does get a chance more is made of it than any another player because giving him a chance can cost a great deal.
All players have luck just some get highlighted more than others.
I will highlight this as evidence, dont mind...many great AUZZIE arm-chair commentators on this forum seem to think luck is only with Indians and batsmen should be awarded the runs before they were droppedScallywag said:When Gilly does get a chance more is made of it than any another player because giving him a chance can cost a great deal.

Everyone enjoys a slice of luck. I dont think Gilchrist gets more than his share.Black Thunder said:He does get a lot of luck, but as the old saying goes fortune favours the brave.
He backs himself, and he goes hard at the ball, meaning when he edges it it's usually going to go wider than the standard three or four slips that are put in place. And it usually goes higher than the slips fielder in any case.
It's not just Gilly - if you look right through the cricketing world, guys who are hard hitters of the ball all enjoy a fair slice of luck.
Without a doubt... he is in my top five ODI players...Langeveldt said:You make your own luck sometimes.. He remains the finest keeper batsman the game has ever seen..
