    Gilchrist hits 100th six

    By Will last year, mid-November Leave a comment on this post

    He’s whacked his 100th Test six, becoming the first man to do so. It sailed into the crowd, and he’s made a plea to the guy who nicked it that he can have it back as a memento - as well he should, too.

    137.5 Muralitharan to Gilchrist, SIX, And there you go. SIX No.100, take a bow Adam Gilchrist, another slog sweep and he clears the stadium, the Bellerive is too small for him, no batsman has hit 100 sixes in Tests, we have the king now. It’s over midwicket and on it’s way to Perth there

    Most 36 six year olds don’t hit three 6’s in a score of 60 odd.

    Apparently he takes the age shall not weary them anzac code a little too seriously.

    uncle j rod,

    not a good choice - isn’t it bad luck to write someone’s obituary before they’re gone? I hope the sun’s not going down …

    Bellerive is not a small oval. It’s just that on a good day, the world is too small for Gilly.

    Who the hell nicks a cricket ball midway through a match? In front of TV cameras. This is not baseball, folks. Give it back, you prat.
