Adam Gilchrist is one of the greatest wicket-keeper batsmen of all-time

Adam Gilchrist was one of the most feared batsmen in the world. On his day, he was known to hit even the world's best bowlers all-around the park. Gilchrist was a true gentleman and always played the game the right way.

Gilchrist played in 96 Test matches and was the wicket-keeper for the team in all those tests. He scored 5570 runs at an average of 47.61, accompanied by 17 centuries and 26 half-centuries and is the leading run-scorer as wicket-keeper in tests.

This record of Gilchrist's looks safe as there is no one currently close to breaking this record.
