Impossible for anybody to reach Sachin’s landmark: Gilchrist


The former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist and explosive opens believe there is a huge gap between Sachin Tendulkar and the rest of the batsmen a high level, something that is almost impossible that someone, somewhere, get near the emblem makes the legend of the 100 international centuries.

Giving the example of Ricky Ponting, who recently said of ODI format retired Gilchrist Tendulkar 29 centuries separated from his former captain.

"This speaks volumes about the size Tendulkar - .. The gap between him and the rest of it is very early, I really doubt that anyone can ever beat that record," said Gilchirst PTI in an interview in Mohali.

"When you look at the documents that come to Ponting the best drummer in the world is Tendulkar. But its combined balance sheet (test and one-day century) was 71 (41-30)," he said.

Critics could argue that Tendulkar has more games against countries like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh played, he said, adding, though 10 centuries have been added to Ponting, it would still be 19 centuries later.

Gilchrist, the portion of a page, the invincible world cricket was dominated, won a hat-trick of World Cup 1999-2007 against the Indians need to be patient in the coming days.

"Rahul Dravid VVS Laxman retired ... Now only Tendulkar and play. It would be a big boots to fill, if Tendulkar goes. We faced a similar phase. But fans have for the patient," he said.

Gilchrist believes that the Indian cricket talent in abundance, but the fans to practice patience.

"Certainly there is no shortage of talent in India. In fact, his is just the opposite. Fans only patients with young people as Virat Kohli," he said.

The Kings XI coach-cum-captain of the next IPL, does not agree that the Gilchrist Twenty20 cricket and the reason for India's defeats in the last series overseas in England and Australia was.

India were ill prepared for the Australian tour set very professionally against an attack, the pressure on the batsmen, he said.

"Twenty20 is a very exciting concept that requires skills at a high level. It takes a lot of thought, and you have to keep the intensity and pace coupled with the pressure.

Am (But) I'm sure that test cricket is the ultimate, "he said.

"The challenge for managers is not to overdo it .... If managed properly, there is room for all three formats," he said, giving the example of poor planning of the T20-off against South Africa in Johannesburg
