Gilly (Adam Craig Gilchrist) an outstanding, aggressive left-handed batsman and effective wicketkeeper and he proved that again.
He scored the second fastest century in test history when he reached a hundred off 57 balls in the third Ashes test against England on Saturday. He is considered to be one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen in the history of the game.
However he just missed the world record of 56 balls set by West Indian Viv Richards against England at St. Johns in 1985-86.
Earlier record for the second best fastest hundred off 67 was hold by another Australian player Jack Gregory against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1921-22.
Did you know?
=> Gilchrist always played as an extremely aggressive batsman playing in the all-rounder’s spot in a very strong Australian batting lineup.
=> He is also known as ‘The Demolition Man‘ because of his deadly ability to destroy the opposition in a very short time.
