The only thing he ever turned up for were the times Sachin wanted to play hide the strudel.

Comparing only averages is meaningless, you have to look at their strike rates.
Gilchrist's greatest asset was that he always scored at a run a ball. If he was only going to make 10 runs, he didn't waste the teams' time doing so and when things came off he basically won the match. I'd have him opening alongside Tendulkar any day of the week in my ATG XI.

Yeah criticisms of Gilchrist based on his average are miles off. It was his job to go hard from ball 1. It's not as if he couldn't build an innings or salvage one, was picked on the strength of doing exactly that down the order for WA and was picked in the middle order for Australia on that basis. Once Tubs retired, his role changed.
