Here's to the one definitive swashbuckler of the modern day game. Superstar stumper and marauding bat, Adam Gilchrist came with the customary Australian pluck. But after the genial Mark Taylor, Gilly has also been the sober other-face in a side that redefines in-the-face aggro. At 36, when the willow still hits them sweet and long, he has pulled out. With the easy grace and no-hassle composure that's, perhaps, second nature to The Australian. Thanks for the entertainment.

(Cricinfo) Sreesanth to Gilchrist, OUT, and he walks! Gilchrist chases a short one down leg stump, there's deviation before Dhoni takes it to his right ... appears he gloved it ... Sreesanth semi appeals but there's no reaction from Steve Davis ... but Gilchrist puts his head down and heads inside, so India have an early wicket ...thats not something we see in these times, a batsman walking.

yeah, just watched that. well, he has done that before too. so there. i'm sure our punter would have a different take on the walkers, though :)
