    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    So every great batsman has sometime gone past his prime....and SRT has been in this game for 15 years. He has been phenomenal all through the 90's and that's not exactly a short time. The only thing really missing from his record is a triple. And he's still got time to do it.

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Probably, but they may have gone down with all the pressure of so many games too.....plus they may not have been able to shoulder the kind of responsiblilty he has over the years. All those players you have mentioned played for great teams. He's been awesome all through his career, right from...

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Maybe we should have a poll, but I think over 22,000 international runs and 70 international tons coupled with a career average of 57.39 over 114 tests should qualify him into that sort of a team.

    **Official** Bangladesh in West Indies

    Well it looks like Bangladesh will suffer an innings defeat by a considerable margin. Shows that some people got too excited over the previous test match. Bangladesh performed very well, but they weren't really close to a test match win. They were helped by the Windies sorry performance and...

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    And I too was being sarcastic when I mentioned Parthiv. Why should I have a problem with you guys dreaming of good things? :happy:

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    He's not a certain pick, but he's high up in the pecking order. Although most would have him.

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Out of all those you listed only Bradman and Lara can be considered to be definitely better (as batsmen).

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Well if you're interested in picking the very best players for your side then it'll be hard to overlook him.

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Gillespie bowled pretty well and Lee was just himself, and they played the attack put out to them. And India may have perfromed just as well even against that attack, they had the batting to do it.

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Oh really then why all the comparisons of age, the first few innings etc..

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Sure was but he still did well and he scored quickly too...he showed he could bat unlike AA and others who still got out..We needed quick runs then and he delivered exactly what was required.

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    It was worthy of some praise, in his 62(50) in Sydney he played Lee very well and was not afraid to pull and hook the short stuff. He did well enough to be considered good enough to open the batting in Pakistan...where again he impressed. True

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Oh and they are the easiest to handle aren't they? You have some dumb idea that Australia was all in favour of India and the Australian bowling was bullshit. Intresting......a guy who thinks Tendulkar is the most overrated player EVER is ridiculing others who think Pathan could become as good...

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    Another small point, but it happens with every team. And the majority prefer Patel, there's only one guy who wants Nayan Mongia back..

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    And surely Jones has started well enough to be the new Gilchrist. 8-)

    Will Geriant Jones become the new Gilchrist?

    You know Parthiv Patel is shaping up pretty well with the bat, and he's only 18. Yay, the future Gilchrist! :wacko:

    **Official** Bangladesh in West Indies

    But there's a lot at stake for Lara if they can't bowl out Bangladesh. He'll be thinking about that surely...tricky situation if Sarwan is batting 300+ and he has to declare.
