How much time is left before gilly(church) bids goodbye!?

[pup11]

What do you guys think will he also retire after WC or will he play more do you think whenever he desires to retire he will quit from both forms of the game or like quit from odi's and play till the ashes in 09 in test cricket what do you think? Whenever he retires i will miss him more than warne and pidge.

I think Gilly has a couple years left. He'll be around at least for the Indian tour I think, and may make '09 Ashes his final.

retire from ODI's after the WC, retire from tests later this year.

gilly is someone i really want to play for a long time and him being such a gr8 team man he will not lead the team into a position where after 3 players having already left he won't want to make the team slip down in any more experience.

A shark-jumped Gilchrist is not an asset to the Australian team if there are good young wicketkeepers in the wings. If he feels he's not capable of performing as he should, by all means let the man retire.

Gilly did comment that he will play in the Twenty20 world cup even though he disagrees with it. Maybe that will be his last hoorah

I'd be inclined to go that way, aswell.

 

[pup11]

i think he wants to play in the ashes in 09 form permitting he might leave odi's earlier than that.

 

[age_master]

I would say he will retire from ODI's at least after next summer, tests might depend abit on form.

 

[Nemesis27]

I would say in a couple of years, definitely no longer than the 09 ashes series though.

 

[GIMH]

Might as well retire from ODIs after the WC if he ain't gonna be around for the next one

ENGLAND ashes holders in 2009.

it sounds as thoughtfull as englands plans for global domination by 2011 the way england are shaping up at the moment they would be lucky if they even manage to avoid another 5-0 whitewash in 09.As for gilly he will play in the ashes in 09 he will want to retire with a bang.

You're an idiot

You're an idiot

Murphy was right.

 

[GIMH]

And why's that?

 

[Richard]

Amazes me how many people think he'll retire from ODIs after WC2007... despite that being the logical course of action, there is reason to think otherwise...

From Adam Gilchrist
I can't see any value in playing just one form of the game, either

IMO he'd have done well to have retired from Tests with Langer, McGrath and Warne.

Even though it could be argued that they were unlucky in the 5-0 this time round you think that in 2 years time when Australia are missing not only McGrath, but Warne as well, it'll need luck to avoid 5-0?

 

[Burpey]

And why's that?

Calling someone an idiot because they dared to predict England would lose 5-0 (again dare I say).

Yeah, sure, so unlucky to play as terribly as they did... and unlucky that it didn't rain at Adelaide as it did at The 'Gabba 8 years ago...
