(HQ) Adam Gilchrist Second fastest 200 - South Africa annihilated - 204*

Спорт

First on KZread! The full video! Adam Gilchrist blasts South Africa enroute to what was then the fastest double century and is still the 2nd fastest double hundred in test cricket after Nathan Astle's 222. Ben stokes 258
Gilchrist reached 200 with 19 fours and eight sixes in 212 balls.
When Steve Waugh called him in at the end of the over, he walked back to a rousing ovation from an otherwise infamously parochial crowd. It had been a breathtaking unbeaten 204 from 213 deliveries, one of the most audaciously aggressive innings ever witnessed in Test cricket.
Gilly almost hits the Go for Gold sign which would have won him 4.5 ounces of gold at the Wanderers Johannesburg. Includes Damien Martyn's 2 of the best cover drives you will ever see.!

    Martyn was the unnoticed great back then. Almost identical home and away average. Averaged over 40 in every country he played a decent number of tests. Averaged over 50 for most of his career. If Australia had him now he would be way more valuable, especially with them trying to win more often in Asia.

    I personally want to say something on Damien Martyn.. During Ponting’s 140 in 2003 WC final, during Gilchrist’s 204 and many others’ great innings, he made a huge contribution, many times. I think because of that Great Australian team, he was always underrated. Just look at 2 cover drives in this video. Sublime. I think he is one of the most classic, technically perfect players during Australia’s golden era. Never flashy, always down to earth, finished his career with 46 average (away average 47) in tests and 41 in one days, in a time (1993-2006) when the world was not filled with flat pitches and opponents have best pace attacks. Hats off to a true craftsman.

    The real reason that he was underrated, at least by Australian cricket fans, is that he scored most of his centuries overseas. 4 centuries and 13 fifties at home, vs. 9 centuries and 10 fifties away. Real cricket aficionados realise what an important part he was of the early 00s side, especially in the successful tour of India in 2004 where he was the top batsman.

    Nailed it mate. Marto was THE most delightful batsman I've have seen in cricket for the time I've been watching since the early 70s. People put Mark Waugh up on a pedestal. Watchable for sure, but absolutely not even close to the class of Marto. He bore the brunt of that loss to south Africa in Sydney in '94 which was so unfair. After that he probably never felt secure in his place. If there is one player I'd love to have a beer with it would be him.

    Man I remember Martyn making the most outrages shots on the last ball of the match and needing somewhere under 4 runs to his century. It was a ODI in Tas, not sure who they were playing but the bowler came in with a beautiful Yorker and Martyn flipped the face of his bat to his left side and perfectly flicked the ball past off stump going for a boundary. Remembering and watching it live and trying to explain what he did with the last ball of the match takes away credit for his ballsy shot. Should look it up worth watching.

    The scorecard was looking pretty okay too, Hayden had a decent knock, but all those others could have potentially done the same, but having Gilchrist and Martyn in the middle was just such a roadblock. Gilly could rack up massive scores so fast, and Martyn was just such a solid player that you had to really earn his wicket.

By the time Gilchrist came in to bat, he already had Ponting, Hayden and many others before him. There was never really any pressure on Gilchrist to perform with the bat, which allows him to go for it. Lara and Tendulkar always had the pressure to score, so they had less opportunity to hit out freely.

    Gilly the apotheosis, batsmen, keeper and equally a player of great integrity, and Martyn the enigma of Australia's batting lineup, such a lissome stroke player, and underrated he was in the same class as Greg Chappell and Mark Waugh.

    Gilly always changed the complexion of the game batting down low. He played a similar innings in India before the famous Calcutta test, but that was a brilliant century not a double. He took the game away from a rampant Pakistan in Hobart in 99, the infamous Martyn snick, despite that I always feel that it was Gilly who beat Pakistan at Hobart and not the Martyn decision. Great player

    Sure it was beautifully elegant but any half decent international batsman should be able to stroke a half volley to the fence. The real test is hitting the ball 'on the up', and/or especially (as Martin Crowe used to say) hitting them through mid-on because you had to get the left hip clear to swing the bat freely...... off the back foot just wide of mid on is the most difficult shot of them all to play. The Gilchrist shot to bring up his ton (11:57) is a case in point....... even more so as he has to play it against the natural angle of the ball across him toward the slips. Magnificent.

    True Gilly story. When he was still a state player, he was playing in the Shield final when I was in my mid 20s. Convinced my GF at the time to go watch the match on the basis we could buy 6 pints of beer at a time.. Gilly hit close to 200, think 189 and there were quite a few sixes into the midwicket stand we were in. At first i told my GF not to worry, I'd be able to catch it if the ball came our way. 10 pints in, I told my GF not to worry, I'd push her out the way if the ball came our way

An article came on cricket365 claiming his wife had an affair and his new born son was Slaters kid. All lies of course. And guys in the crowd had a sign saying 'Baby Gilly whose your daddy?' 'Slater' Plus he copped it from the crowd.. Amazing innings considering how wound up he was..
