Default Re: The Ashes - 2005

I think up until now we have all been waiting expecting that Gilly will eventually unleash a trademark innings.

It just hasn't happened. He is unsure which balls to leave and which balls to play. All the bowlers are really doing is bowling around the wicket outside off stump. Its the fact that they are swinging the ball into his off stump and away to the slips which is causing his uncertainty. We are used to seeing Gilchrist get out because he's playing big shots and he miscues one, oh well that's Gilly. But in this series he's getting himself out playing some awful shots, feeling for the ball bat away from he's body.

I don't think we are ready to right him off just yet as he's never really had this sort of a dry spell in his career.

Hayden and Martyn on the other hand have had more than enough chances. Time to give Hussey and Hodge a go.
