Adam Craig Gilchrist , nickname Gilly or Church (y) , (born November 14, 1971 in Bellingen , New South Wales ) is a former Australian cricketer and wicket keeper for the Australian national cricket team. He is considered one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen all-rounders in the history of the sport. In 2002 Gilchrist was named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year .
Gilchrist played his first test match for Australia in November 1999 in Brisbane against Pakistan . Not only is he the second most successful wicketkeeper in test cricket history, but he was also a dangerous batsman who scored points very quickly through boundaries . In 2006 in Perth, for example, he managed to score 100 runs from only 57 balls in a test match against England, narrowly missing Viv Richards' world record (100 runs from 56 balls). Gilchrist completed a total of 96 tests and scored 5570 runs (47.6 runs per wicket). Gilchrist was with the Australian national cricket team three times in a row world champion ( 1999 , 2003 and 2007 ), which apart from him only his teammates Ricky Ponting and Glenn McGrath achieved. In the final of the Cricket World Cup 2007 he scored 149 runs, more than ever before in a final. Because of this performance, he was voted player of the game. Since the beginning of 2008 he no longer plays for the Australian national cricket team.
After his international career, he focused on county cricket for Middlesex and played for the Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League . For the 2011 season he moved to the Kings XI Punjab . After the team's elimination in the group stage in the 2012 season , he announced his retirement as an active player.
