I'm posting here a reformatted version of Blnguyen's oppose !vote, so the issues can be dealt with individually. Any mistakes in the reformatting are my fault - I'll ask Blnguyen to check. -- Dweller 11:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment originally by Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 03:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Gilchrist's form slumped, making a rare king pair (two golden ducks in the same match) in the Second Test in Kolkata and scoring just two in his two innings in Chennai. --> Not sure whether 'form slumped' is a fair comment of what happened. In Mumbai, he had used his slog sweep very successfully against the spinners (though he was dropped early on by SS Das off a top edge). He kept trying the same shot in the next two Test matches and got lbw in four consecutive innings (actually in the first of them - during Harby's hattrick - he had got a thick inside edge onto his pads). It is as simple as that. "Form slumped" seems to hint at something else. Tintin 11:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Great article, just a few issues I've got.
Opening remarks "who redefined the role for the Australian national team through his aggressive batting" means nothing, sounds like sporting jargon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.159.111 ( talk) 15:16, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I think that this statement needs to be changed or removed:
"However, while perhaps not as elegant as some, he has successfully kept wicket for leg spinner Shane Warne over many years, managing many stumpings, missing few catching chances, and letting through few byes."
A statistic on stumpings could be found, but how do you judge "missing few catching chances and letting few byes?" Also, who judges his success against Warne? I personally agree that he's done a good job, but the only point of comparison is Healy, and either way, the statement is unsourced and will probably stay that way.
If nobody objects or changes over the next few days, I'll remove the statement. Damanmundine | Talk 10:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
What has happened to the lead? It has been chopped to pieces and is now unrecognisable from its Featured Article glory. The current lead is full of one sentence paragraphs and does not meet FA guidelines. Please have a look at WP:LEAD and if you can recover the chopped out content and restore it to the lead. Thanks, Mattinbgn\ talk 09:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, that's better. Although some of the recent stuff, like the wicket-keeping world record and his retirement, does need to be expanded in the body of the article. Stephen Turner ( Talk) 12:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Does anybody but CricInfo write about Gilchrist?
To me it seems that this article may have no NPOV. 132 of 158 referances are cricinfo. Most of these have a point of view. I suggest we find different referances inorder to help maintain the quality of this article.

Does this bit really need to be there? I know "some fans" think it was unethical, but "some fans" think a lot of things. Isn't it enough to say it caused controversy but was deemed legal by the ICC? The "but some fans consider it unethical" sounds tacked on and redundant. It sounds like a "last word" for the ball controversy brigade in an argument that's already been settled 70.180.211.21 ( talk) 23:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
The section "2008 Indian Premier League" has some spelling errors and isn't very clear. I've never edited anything here before so I thought I'd better not touch it. Most of the talk here seems to be quite old so I thought I'd post this and see what happens. Jack Stoner ( talk) 03:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Is Gilly regarded to be Australia's best WK (keeping skills as well as batting ability). His batting is certainly better than Marsh's or Helay's, although both of them were better behind the stumps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.124.247.56 ( talk) 04:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

For info, Gilchrist is on commentary now for the Big Bash League game (Adelaide vs Perth) and he's stated it's NOT him on Twitter, but an imposter. He then went on to talk about the press using the fake Twitter account to print comments posted about Stuart Broad not walking in the 2013 Ashes series. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 11:19, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
His swashbuckling 149 off 104 balls against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World Cup final is rated one of the greatest World Cup innings of all time. Swashbuckling? In a Featured Article? Hmm.... — Amakuru ( talk) 21:50, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
