After watching some more recent cricket, it's undeniable how crisp a hitter gilly was, on top of that he was one the most devasting test batsmen of all time, he redefined cricket across both formats, and to imagine his potential if he did exactly the same things but born 20 years later, playing today, he would probably be comparable only to Bradman, but unique in the explosiveness. He's such a remarkable character, so honest and respectfull, full of love, karma was on his side and it's a miracle we got to witness that at all.

His batting average is 48 in tests at the moment. Ponting retired with an average above 50 and probably should have been closer to 55 if he retired a year or so earlier. Tendulkar retired with an average of 53, which I would make a similar argument in which it dropped a bit at the end. I'd also make an argument that James Anderson probably deserves a spot, but with Kallis in the side there's not much of a spot for him unless you're dropping Murali or Warne, which is obviously impossible!

“Here’s Hoggard” says Richie Benaud as Hoggard is in his run-up “there goes Hoggard” he said after Hoggard was hit for a boundary. Classic Richie benaud

In 25 years of watching cricket, this would have to be the most brutal display of opening batting I've ever seen in an ODI. You can see the Poms looked absolutely shellshocked when the game was over (around 7:25pm IIRC, about 35 minutes before sunset).

What a time for Australian cricket fans. 20 years of pure dominance with so many all-time greats in the one team.

1:50 Everyone who has ever played cricket ever: "if you want to hit a 4 along the ground you have to hit it into a gap" Gilly: "LOL, who needs a gap when you can hit through the fielder"

They are the best opening partners I have ever seen in my life.

I really feel the bowling was all in good length. What timing and what not, the shots delivered were just beautiful to watch. Classy, I don't think any cricketers can even replace player like these 2 opening

SCG looking beautiful, even on a dull overcast day. On a murder rating...this game was a 10/10. Hard to win bigger than this in an ODI.

Best openers of all time

These guys used to be known for their ruthlessness and brash arrogant stomping with authority kind of shots,but these are some of the most well placed shots I've seen. Pulls past the bowler,Gilly's late cut through slips and gully. Absolutely marvelous

Gillys cutting was just magic. Liked your salute to Richie at the end of your comment.

Followed by players like Ponting, Symonds, Hussey etc etc. What a team we had then.

I Miss This Australian Team 😔 💚💛

Amazing footwork and cut shots. You don't often see that these days. It's all reverse sweeps and slogs over cover.

Golden era of cricket❤

Everything is perfect in this video...players & commentators too❤️
