Gilchrist retires

[lockyno1]

So what

He as less than 5 years, Ronchi and Paine have over 10 years left. I'd rather go for the long term option!

 

[dice]

Ill miss him, hope he can play ODI's for another 12mths

Gilly was interviewed earlier in the day about nothing specific. Gilly's comments about T20 were interesting as it seems his sole love for Test cricket has recently been compromised by his lu$t for T20.

Haddin will open in ODI and be the wicketkeeper

he has ODI experience and has done well, one of the form players in our recent tour to india

Feel for Gilchrist, so many have been criticising him for dropping sitters of late and the pressure of the media.

How will it be the hardest thing for the ODI's?

Brad Haddin is a genuine clean hitting batsmen! I have no doubt either he or Michael Clarke will fill the opening roll.

 

[lockyno1]

I actually think he may retire after the ODI match in Perth.

Haddin isn't a opener, he is a perfect no4/5 though. Sunshine will probally get the gig.

Ronchi and Payne are crap may aswell play the Under 19's Keeper if your looking for long term option...

wouldnt be surprised if he retires from ODI after the tri series, and commits to a couple of years playing in the indian 20/20 comp, big money for a couple of months work per year

Not really but we are talking different positions here. We need a long term keeper!

5 years is pretty long-term.
