Bowlers like Fernando were 90 miles merchants and sprayed it around. Malinga was accurate, but his deliveries produced unpredictable bounce even on best of surfaces. Gilchrist may have kept for Tait for same matches, but no where day and day out keeping to like fast and way ward Sri Lankan bowlers, or Malinga, who brought completely different way of bowling, or Vaas where any ball can vary from 110k to 130k with absolute no change of action, some times back to back multiple times. I'd say Sanga kept to a wider variety of pace bowlers too.

at 5:20 quick reflexes can be seen
at 5:56 pretty much hugh turn
at 8:15 again quick reflexes
at 12:10 pitches almost at full at a significant turn, Gilchrist didn’t even seem to struggle a bit, he was pretty much comfortable against all
