In a sensational development, Australian wicket keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist announced retirement from the test cricket. The ongoing test between India and Australia at Adelaide will be the last test match of his unlimited overs career. However, he will continue to play one-day cricket for at least two years.
Adam Gilchrist holds the world record of maximum dismissals in test cricket by a wicketkeeper with 414 (377 catches + 37 stumpings) dismissals. Anil Kumble became his 414th victim in the first innings of Adelaide test yesterday when he was playing with an amazing 87. Gilchrist had made his test debut in November 1999. Gilchrist has played 95 tests so far. He has also scored 17 centuries in his hand.
