Adam Gilchrist - 2nd fastest test century

[Ihatelads]

He got his first 50 in 40 balls. he got to 100 in 17...

[FastestBowlers2003]

I badly miss this guy. He was a very sharp player and the most intelligent batsman. None of the batsmen will be like him.

[iszakwasere]

need him playing for the scourchers

[wattosacrim]

Back when we had the best side in the world

[phil0689]

gilly needs to make a comeback fuck haddin

[forceable25]

fuck i miss watching cricket in the summer with gilly playing :(

[dilkashh]

this is why he is in all time eleven tests. REAL TALK.

[tomelmslie]

fuck u hoggard bloody pommy pussy bowling a wide

[McLeodMediaCorp]

Adam Gilchrist had revolutionized the test wicket-keeper from not only a keeper, but one who can make decent runs

[eloiseandrea]

He came to my work today :)

[maaanddeuta]

I'm from India and I love Gilly. My fav cricketer. And I think he looks like young Bryan Adams...

[stratocaster1986able]

Oh dear, Panesar, what awful bowling.

Credit to Gilly though, he is a Fucking Legend.

[Hem4fiction]

just the fact that he's the wicket-keeper makes this all the more sweeter

[SuidySpud]

Bowled*



[SuidySpud]

Jesus Christ that pissed me off the way Hoggard balled the wide....cowardly :@

[kirsty770]

i remember being at the waca that day and watching gilly go crazy! best innings i have seen and an absolute privilage to be there :)

[mwhite4324]

Gillys either rocks or diamonds, that day he was a fucking diamond mine

[magnetictheory]

thing i like about Gilly is, unlike other great batsmen, eg. Lara, Tendulka, Richards, Bradman etc, he never overly adjusted his natural style to suit the circumstances, like Hayden always tried to do. Gilly just went fuck it, i'm gonna play hard, i don't care where i am. sometimes that mentality got him in trouble n sent him walking, but when it worked... man did it work.

[dilkashh]

@magnetictheory

gilly's mindset: "just hit the god darn ball"

--the truth :)

[TheAbbas61]

Master stroke

[Dan787938]

Steve Harmlessone bowling pies haha

[QTownRicho96]

One of the most underrated cricket players in both Australia and the World of all time

[MrBen51309]

Fastest Test Century:

1) A West Indian at Antigua

2) An Australian at the WACA

Highest Individual Test Score:

1) A West Indian at Antigua

2) An Australia at the WACA

Is anyone else getting freaked out?

[dilkashh]

@MrBen51309

Nope. It is only what is expected from great players from great teams. Viv, Gilly, Lara, and Hayden are just examples of cricket greatness. I don't expect anything less from them besides flawlessness :)

[BoyleZ28]

2.44 Flintoffs dumbfounded look said it all watching the ball go into orbit.

[djWeinstien]

so proud to be there that day

[i0am0shrieky]

@4:50 really shows What a great guy Gilly is!

[i0am0shrieky]

Hoggards a real sport huh!!!!!!!

[jc208132]

Monte Panesar clicked the dislike button 18 times.

[redbacksable]

he is realy the king of strokes....

[maadhavk]

the music is so fitting a great moment in cricketing history

[Grakka443]

He really picked on monty there

[a1a2a3a4919]

Is this a joke no i don't think so because it's gilly ...

[danz467]

greaaat video mate well done :) gilly true legend of the gammeee made england look silly ahahah ;)

[failerz]

there goes monty panesars career lol

[METHEBOSSNOTYOU]

one of the best yet under rated batsmen

everyone speaks about him as a hitter smashing the leather off the ball but only a few realise how good a batter he rally was over 9000runs @ a strike rate of 96% is no mean feat

a true legend & an excellent sportsman

[cRiKeTALlThEwaaAy]

Gilly was never lyk other batsman:Lara,bradman.tendulker he just plays his normal speedy game

[robinssingh66]

you r god of cricket

[krsammy]

@Shoaib Shut up ! How can u say these words to a legend? He is the among some of the greatest players. Haven't u see the sixes he smashed against Kochi bowlers on 17th May 11? Go through the highlights and untill then, just shut the fuck up.

[benjpaine300]

watching ipl today and he hit one out of the stadium

[ShoaibAkhtar2011]

GILCHRIS I HAVE MSG FOR U 4m PAKISTAN ..." U SON OF A BITCH FUCK UR MOM AND FUCK UR FAMILY .....U SON OF A PIG ..I HOPE U BURN IN HEKK SON OFA FUCK ..U DID SHIT IN IPL 4 U SON OF A FUCK ......CANT EVEN HIT A STRAIGHT BALL ...WHY THE FUCK UR PLAYING IPL ....KINGS 11 PUNJAB LOST COZ OF U >>U BASTURED >>>>>>>>>>U MORON ....

[bat004]

@ShoaibAkhtar2011 they have internet in pakistan?

[tomelmslie]

@ShoaibAkhtar2011 First of all, I am not surprised you wrote this, because you are a Pakistani, and there is nothing you like more than trying to cover the fact their team is embarrassing in all aspects of the game by ridiculing others. Secondly, I'm not angry about what you wrote on Gilly. You just aren't worth the trouble of me explaining how pathetic you and your life is; you're too screwed up for anyone to bother. So please, do everyone a favor, and FUCK OFF, SHUT UP and leave cricket alone.

[dkhan16]

@tomelmslie mate i guarantee u this guy shoaibakhtar2011, he's not pakistani. personally me being pakistani i love watchin australia play, too bait this guy is indian cuz he's swearing at gilly cuz he didnt perform in IPL we pakistani dont like IPL cuz they dont take our players due to political reason. n he made fake account to piss people off n give pak a bad name. you have no idea what indians do to give pakistan a bad name. btw my second favourite team is australia n fav player is mcgrath

[25318000s]

Once in a lifetime innings!! Go Aussie and go world cricket!!! Love all the teams!!!

[lovesnooker2010]

What an innings.

Went for 0 in the first innings.

SECOND INNINGS SECOND FASTEST HIUNDRED!!!

Thumbs up!

I am British, but I know my cricket, and that was a top effort!

[jayhawkdave24]

Classy, classy dude. Love the humility at the end. Best wicketkeeper in history by far.

[infokill]

17 people felt sorry for Monty...

[s8tank]

Im English and would love to have a Keeped Batsman as good as Gilly

[SeanCrumpet]

Bombonpakistan ... Your mums a christian

[pudzw1987]

@bombonpakistan what a dickhead you are!

[ustadbadoo]

best player in the world...the great waseem akram told, i always got cofused when i bowl to gilchrist...

and gilchrist also said, waseem was the most dangerous bowler i have evr played.

Gilly we love you dude..you made cricket as fun or stylish.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan haha...u sound like such a cockhead. No wonder u r a bitter fuckwit.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan if u did your research dickhead...the attacks were done by other indians...LOL. WOWEEE...how outta touch are u.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan Well done son. thats exactly right. Have i said anything that is 'hating a particular person cause of his race or color'???......but how about u when u say that im a part of 'u jackasses are pussies'??. Come one dude......let this ridiculous hatred go....you will feel better for it. Hindu Indians that I know are peaceful people...U seem not.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan What an odd comment. Do u know what the term 'racist' means?. If so...explain.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan LOL. Hey dont get all upset, buddy. I have REAL friends here that are Indian, Pakistani, Croatian, Iranian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Lebanese and indonesian. I judge people on who they are..not what country they come from or what religion they have.

[Calzonebaby]

@bombonpakistan The only thing thats pathetic is your username.

[loverboyfromaustrali]

wow hs good bye the wy happy valantines day

[austricks444]

yer course, poms couldnt take a record against their name

[djimi66]

softcock pommy bowler ... didn't give gim a chance to get the quickest century.

[perf5paul]

Gilly would have been a great baseballer if he wanted.

[THELUCASKONG]

fucking poms

[THELUCASKONG]

after gilchrist, warne, mcgrath, hayden, langer, waugh and all the other great left, aussies are hopeless. gilchrist would make a good batting coach

[AfricanKillerBees]

Fuck you get goosebumps watching this!

[fvxter]

Unfortunately I gave up on cricket since Gilly retired. Seeing this brought back the memories. Thank you!

[sethandsummer]

@fvxter me too! ever since gill retired i have not watched the aussie team play.

[7bowlo]

love mark taylors commentary when he was smashing monty all around the park

[MrGrog88]

over 500 with still 5 wickets in hand, we (australia) couldnt dream of a score like that these days

[619beanie]

@MrGrog88 Too right mate

[shabbyroadgaming23]

@MrGrog88 we can when clarke and ponting are at their best

[TheMaster1246]

@MrGrog88 Australia are 4/554 at the moment.

[27AznBoy]

@MrGrog88 well know you can, 2012

[Shahzada1prince]

Australia should start looking for new talent...

[australia1nbr1]

Warne took drugs. He is a chucker too. Delete Warne's records

[FridgeNation]

Terrific Century made by an even better bloke. Such humility and a sense of professionalism goes without saying when i think of Gilchrist.

[pudzw1987]

fucking love this video!

[AustralianHonor]

17 people must be poms

[MegaBlackmagic21]

WHAT A LEDGEND :)

[MrPappu94]

[frozenchampion]

[MrAwesomedude1000]

Out for a duck first innings. XD!

[Jetball74]

Gutless pomm bowled a wide.

[zXAlonsoFanXz]

@Jetball74 gutless pomm!! least he didnt give him the under arm . . .

[Jetball74]

@zXAlonsoFanXz Haha, you're right there mate i gotta admit. :D

[s8tank]

[TheAnandaXX]

"He's pretty awesome to watch and he may have changed the face of batting for the future. He's a once - in - a - generation cricketer." Steve Waugh

These are Steve's words on the poster that sits behind the bat Adam signed. I brought it after seeing him do this.

Totally destructive genius and an absolute gentleman.

[lukequixotesanjose]

Does anyone think Hoggard knew that Gilly was on for the fastest? If he did, then that was a shit act to bowl a wide. If Hoggard had bowled an yorker and kept him out then I'd say fair enough. I would not say that Hoggard should have bowled a pie to Gilly, but to bowl a wide ball if he knew... nah!! He should have at least tried to get him out if he has any respect as a bowler.

[ewbie100]

@lukequixotesanjose Good call...there is certainly some conjecture there. I'd be surprised that Hoggard would know and Gilly didn't considering talk on and off the field. Strange ball to bowl though.....

[lukequixotesanjose]

@ewbie100

Yer, I'm English, but I hold my hands up to the teams since Border shook up Aussie cricket - They were simply awesome. Gilly is great bloke, on and off the pitch. I hate all the silly hate in cricket. Cricket is not a game of hate. It's a game of mutual respect. I hope Hoggard did not know. This tour ended the Panesar cult. I like Panesar, but he never got better. He was living on the cult figure that was set up in the end.

[lukequixotesanjose]

@ewbie100

You only have to listen to Gilly's humility at the end, when he talks about Viv Richards. Nice sentiment.

[ewbie100]

@lukequixotesanjose That's cricket for ya! Christmas Eve here, big match coming on Boxing Day. Ashes were all but lost but we're back in it....with all due respect I hope we see Australians playing Australian style cricket in Australia. Pretty rugged stuff but fair.

ps. I'm not sure about over your way, but Gilly keeps a reasonably low media profile over here and hat's off for that.

[utubefreak7911654be]

thumbs up if you've read his book (true colours)

[Cheungiie]

@utubefreak7911654be

hahaha dw mate, i have. read it when i was 12 and my grandads.

up all night, pretty good book. great player.

[carterj25]

what a fucking legend, from england x

[essendonFC4eva]

Love the crack of willow when he hits hoggard at about 3 mins

[jassal02]

Sehwag is probably the closest who can get the record in test cricket . what a great player gilly is !!!!

[kksudhee]

Gilly all time best wicket keeper

[NaChOsVSTaChOs]

Gili is a champion

[NaChOsVSTaChOs]

Gili is a well repected man espiccaly when he walked when he wasn't even called out

[sganeshkumar1989]

The destroyer who entertains!

[chodaboy57]

Hoggard, my friend, that is what we in Australia call a "dog act".

[spaofgayindylove]

@chodaboy57 that was the best ball an Englishman bowled all day!

[elquadratico]

Legend is gilly

[Imrankniazi]

Two of the fastest Test tons came up against England, the inventors of this great game. Arguably, two exceptional stroke-players are involved here, but is it a mere coincidence that the opposition are the Poms in both cases?

[Jamal92554]

This is all good, but fuck you Hoggard.

[jkt368]

Awesome... bring on the summer of cricket :)

[kirsty770]

I remember being at the WACA that day and watching Gilly... will never forget it :)

[danz467]

just the man gily fuck the pomsss

[chadsexinton]

Hoggard knew.

[DKLillee355]

can someone tell me has Gilly EVER ducked under a short ball or been hit by one i can't recall it happening ever, infact i can't even picture it.

[mrbrowny123]

R.I.P monty panesar

[CHUNDERTHUNDER99]

@mrbrowny123 what happened to him??? completely forgot about that dude

[Cloress1]

Adam Gilchrist. For what of a better word... FUCKING nice bloke.

[chingeh20]

adam gilchrist is the ambassador for our company!!! want to join ask me how!

[DKLillee355]

man i miss him.

[shrestha841]

do u think that curry muncher and milk drinker can match this innings ??

[mmcmahon7]

The look on Flintoff's face...priceless

[brynjones11]

man what a champion. you almost feel sorry for poms

[ikea4lifeyh]

2:02 double nazi salute lol

[DKLillee355]

best keeper batsman eva

[gcorking12]

i'm english and even i wanted gilly to destroy out crap bowlers then

[csbarathi]

All around the park

[iiHSKde4th]

im american and my last name is gilchrist i wonder if were related??

[Lardinho78]

that is why they are legends and why Gilly missed out, he's great but historically not the very best, but close. That is how it ended.

[mickykeats]

that was epically awesome~!

[mrbrowny123]

RIP MONTEY PANESAR

[sridharakella1995]

Gilly makes test matches look like a limited over game.

[satishmandhre]

Gilchrist is man who actually change the way of playing cricket. i believe that he is legendary entertainer

[Krapvag]

@satishmandhre whilst many would agree, Gilchrist himself being a modest bloke puts it mostly down to Jayasuria and the Sri Lankans in '96. Of course, you still have to go out there and do it...

As much as I didn't enjoy watching England suffer at the hands of the aussies, you can't complain when it's Gilchrist taking you apart

[chadsexinton]

everybody's made thier record against england. lol.

[Zahinn]

I miss playing cricket in Melbourne beaches...

[TheVivek1993]

gilchrist the best .... muahh..

[madradlad29]

catch...... goes... and goes.... and goes

[madradlad29]

aww well what about that .. hawhawhaw

[FiveMinutesAway]

@quitsmoking4life

McCullum is so overrated. Haddin has way better stats. But Gilly is the best.

[quitsmoking4life]

id still pick McCullum for best batsmen out of wicket keepers

[Bigsexyaussie]

Mccullum is waaaaaaay overrated. Have u forgot bout dhoni and sangakkara? Those 2 are ten times the batsmen he is. Jus check out their stats..

[Bigsexyaussie]

@quitsmoking4life In 261 international innings.. (test, odi & t20) McCullum has scored 6 hundreds.. That's no where near as good as dhoni or sangakarra..

[Codude180219]

The greatest team ever (or at least what I think is): 1. Don Bradman (c) 2. Jack Hobbs 3. Garry Sobers 4. Viv Richards 5. Sachin Tendulkar 6. Brian Lara 7. Adam Gilchrist (wk) 8. Allan Border 9. Richie Benaud (vc) 10. Shane Warne 11. Glenn McGrath 12th Man: Dennis Lillee

[SumFallGrace]

Bradman is ALWAYS at number 3, no exception. Your captain would have to be someone like Benaud, Lara, or Border.

You have 8 batsman in the team. Put some more bowlers in. With those players, I'd pretty much agree, but I'd put Lillee in for Border, personally.

[Codude180219]

Fair enough. So what is your version of the greatest team ever?

[SumFallGrace]

It would probably go something like: 1. Jack Hobbs 2. Viv Richards 3. Donald Bradman 4. Gary Sobers 5. Sachin Tendulkar 6. Brian Lara (c) 7. Adam Gilchrist (wk) (vc) 8. Shane Warne 9. Dennis Lillee/Wasim Akram (couldn't decide) 10. Curtly Ambrose 11. Glenn McGrath

[Codude180219]

But remember, the bowlers in my team are: Sobers, Benaud, Warne, McGrath and Lillee. That is plenty of bowlers for any form of the sport.

[SumFallGrace]

Yeah fair enough. I would put in Ambrose for sure, instead of Benaud, mainly for the fact I don't really like playing two spinners. If I were to play two the other would be Murali.

[Bigsexyaussie]

This is my team.. Jus based on stats n stuff.. Jack Hobbs Sunil gavaskar Bradman Tendulkar Viv Richards (or Lara) Gary sobers (c) Adam gilchrist Imran khan Shane warne Malcolm Marshall Dennis lillee

[Codude180219]

Well, it was fun debating with you.

[sandeepbandi]

gilly. gilly. gilly. gilly.

love u always.

[Ruster27]

The sound of the third and fourth sixes are just awesome, the man has so much power. The most destructive player i have seen,could just turn a game in a flash and always played it in the right spirit

[Ruster27]

So who was our best gloveman at the time BSA? can't remember anyone that flash apart from the man he took over

[poisonivy606]

Wow! There NEVER will be another keeper who can bat like him or a batter who can keep like our Gilly! Love ya mate!

[ghostzulu]

Rudi Koertzen is working overtime

[Tanalystic]

Must be having a squash ball in his left glove, Cheater!!

[hbg1968]

The greatest all-rounder in the game, & I don't think he ever bowled a ball in test cricket.

[Bigsexyaussie]

He had to be a world class batsmen because he was a low class keeper..

[52541728]

Really shit call m8 he took had over 400 dismissionals in test cricket

[Bigsexyaussie]

Anyone wouldve with the bowling attack he had backin him up. Do ur research.. At his peak he wasn't the best keeper in the country.. Jus lucky he was a match winnin batsmen.. Not knockin him, love watching him. Jus sayin keeper wise, he wasn't that good..

[sandeepbandi]

Gillyyy.. Gillyyyy.. Gillyyy..

i miss u man.

[mateys1]

The hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I watch that. Gilly you are a dead set legend. I hope I am still alive to see your son play for Australia!

[Bigsexyaussie]

Don't u mean Michael slaters son?

[sagarsunar]

I meant I can't understand what hoggard was doing, bowling wide when gilchrist was breaking the legendary viv richards old record.... Now we have to wait for much longer... Thanks asshole

[sagarsunar]

Awesome destruction of already demoralised bowling attack..... That's what gilly is known for... Changing the face of game in mere 1 hour... No one can do that... It's unbelievable how many times gilchrist has saved australia coming at 7... Or totally tearing them apart when in top... But I can understand what the hell was hoggard doing bowling wide when gilchrist was in for record

[oscarwyatt69]

Lol me and my dad played some backyard cricket when gilly was on like 1... by the time we cam back he was on 80 something THANK GOD FOR FOXTEL IQ!!!!! that was some viewing

[magnetictheory]

I have an American mate who stayed with me in Syd 2 summers ago n he kept trying to compare cricket to baseball in a negative manner over beers, so I showed him this vid. He now loves cricket n follows the Aussies' progress like a little fangirl.

[ghostzulu]

Good on ya, :D

[Zahinn]

@magnetictheory

Americans love comparing Baseball to Cricket, only to demean Cricket. Pisses me off BIG TIME.

[bucksteroz]

@magnetictheory

haha. bet the american had to change his mind pretty quick. imagine a one dayer with no runs.... that's baseball.. don't get why the yanks dont love cricket and rugby league?both are taior-made for them. good on you for converting him. keep it up pal. make him watch warney too.

[thebarnz1983]

This was a truly beautiful moment in cricket that should be enjoyed for what it was by friend or foe... and made all the more powerful by the fact that Gilly has admitted he was in tears before the innings, considering immediate retirement... sigh.

[f15h3r5]

to be perfectly honest, an amazing innings from an amazing wicket keeper batsman

[ghostzulu]

HAHHHAHAH, England got owned by the machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! hahahaahhaahahahahahahhh toooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooodddddddd­ddddddddddddddddddddd.

i remember being at a family christmas party this day, and the was about 30 people in my lounge room watching this inn
