Gilchrist retires from Test cricket..

[hearts on fire]

There will never be a Keeper-Batsmen as good as him.....

[SOTTERS]

I think there will be, Gilchrist has changed the game, every test team is trying to find an explosive batsman who can keep. Every keeper realises that you have to play in an agressive manner as Gilchrist has done. Luke Ronchi currently has the best strike rate in first class cricket than anyone to have played over 20 innnings in pura cup history. Haddin is no slouch with the bat either.

There will always be good Keeper-Batsmen, but can they be great? like Adam Gilchrist?

One thing doing it in domestic cricket another thing to do it over 96 Test matches.
