Simply Awesome!
For those not able to, or just not, watching the Third Test in this years Ashes series you just missed something which is quite simply, awesome.
Adam Gilchrist has just scored the 2nd fastest century in Test Cricket history!! He came in and looked a bit scratchy early as if low on confidence, as you would be when coming in on a pair and after a streak of failures with the bat.
He got to his 50 in just 40 deliveries which is an effort in itself. But ended up scoring his 100 off just 57 deliveries!! Yes you read it right first 50 off 40, second 50 off just 17!!
He looked set to smash the 21 year old record held by the great Viv Richards but unfortunately it wasn't to be. The ball that he needed 3 off to break the record was well bowled by Hoggard legally wide but wide enough to be unable to be hit. After the tonking he gave the rest of the attack, including Hoggie, you wonder why it took them so long to discover a ball that couldn't be hit.
Simply awesome Gilly, you are a dead set legend mate!!

I'm sorry, weren't you bagging me for saying Gilly was a legend at work on Friday?
I
m too drunk to think of anything funny.
I don't remember bagging you for standing up for Gilly. I might have stated something like "Gilly is having a terrible run of form" or something but his next score was always going to be just around the corner... it's just it was closer than I thought :p
