Sanjay Manjrekar talks to star aussie 'Keeper bat Adam Gilchrist, who has made both the test and Odi squad for the Ashes XI.
SM: So Adam you've made it in both teams. how do u feel about it?
AG: Its great to know that i've made it into both teams. It was hard work though, and i am glad that i was chosen.
SM: You had tough competition in Jones.
AG: Yes Jones is a GREAT keeper. I just barely made it in. He has lots of Talent, but a little more with the bat, mixed with some good experiance, would make him into a keeper that people would call "Legends".
SM: What is your veiw going into this season with the ashes XI?
AG: Bat the way i naturally do, go out there and score runs. i really don't want to get out to a rash stroke. With the gloves, try not to let many opportunities go by. I missed a lot of chances against England in the ashes, i'll hope i won't do it again.
SM: Who is one person that you look forward to playing against?
AG: Well, theres a bloke from the asian XI called Cricketman93 (
) A forocious bowler, faster than Lee, (trust me thats FAST) and a class tp notch batsmen compared to the likes Of tendulkar, if not the great Don Bradmen himself. he is a great batsmen and bowler, and i look forward to playing him.
SM: Nice talking to you Adam, thank you for your time.
AG: Thank You
SM: Well there you have it, Adam Gilchrist, back to you Ravi.
