I didn’t want to reproduce the typo, but felt that it had to be there, for the sake of artistic integrity and whatnot. Mostly whatnot.

Mind you, it might have had something to do with my lightning-fast Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V skillz.

Getting back on topic for a moment, I’ll miss Gilchrist. Yes, he’s Australian. Yes, he’s caused me more pain than most international cricketers*, being able to turn joy into despair with the flash of a bat. However, he seems like a decent chap (for an Aussie), and you can’t deny his skill — he must have single-handedly destroyed the careers of dozens of glovemen.

* Top of the list is one Graeme Hick. Kallis doesn’t cause me pain so much as anger.

Dammit Mahinda. I was actually typing that exact reply (I say typing, ctrl-c, ctrl-v had a large part in it).
Damn you you to heck!

“Sorry., Kingcricket.”

That’s what she said.

Eh? Oh.

you captured the essence brilliantly mate!

i agree with thinking going around that gilly’s absence is going to hurt aussies more than the combined absence of GM and SW…
