Aussies Rest Gilchrist

We said the same things when the lads were rested from the Chappell-Hadlee last year ...

And then we romped the World Cup

Agreed, but i think there's a difference between sending team to NZ for a couple of weeks or staying home, than spending 3 days in your HOME country in ft of your OWN supporters to play.. They wonder why they cant sell out one dayers anymore here in Aus, well maybe they should treat it with the respect playing for your country should be treated with...

This is a joke.. Surely there has to be more to it!! Didnt he have a rest in the rain out in Sydney. And if CA are worried about burn out, why the hell did they let him play in Ford ranger and Pura Cup for WA last week. They stopped Taity playing so he would ok, why not Gilly.. This just slaps the Aussie fans(esp in Hobart) right in the face. How many young kids would be goin to watch Gilly's big hitting, but to be told he needs a rest... Just stupid!!
As previously mentioned, why give him a rest, so he will be right to play for Millions in India 20 twenty!!
Aussie Cricket loosing Credability i think... How sad!!

For how many years in a row did Adelaide also not see Gilly and co from WA play in our one-dayers when the next block was scheduled for Perth and they would have the time off?
