You heard about him first a few months ago on Israellycool.* Now, the Americans are taking notice.
Adam Gilchrist is renowned for his destructive hitting has caught the attention of the Boston Red Sox.Red Sox first-base coach Jon Deeble said the Major League champions had expressed interest in the Test vice-captain in the past.The left-hander is one of the cleanest hitters in cricket history but it is surprising that last year’s Major League series champions would be attracted to a 33-year-old cricketer.“They have expressed interest, there is no doubt about that,” Deeble told Channel Seven.“They have seen videotapes of him hitting a cricket ball; he’s got the two key ingredients, he has got the eye and the power.”
Further proof that cricket is the superior game (!)
By the way, if Gilly did change sports, it wouldn’t be without precedent.
* unless you follow cricket – then you surely knew about him before this.

Games named after insects are most definitely superior. Just wait until you play locust. It will strip you bare and leave you short of breath.
Well at least cricket is a much more romantic game than baseball. In baseball, it is all about sex (first, second, third, fourth base). But in cricket, you get to “bowl a maiden over”
If you think knocking women down is impressive, well then you are correct. But in baseball we get to run home and some of us are fortunate enough to have a fair maiden waiting for us there.
cricket, soccer, how many other fake sports do you play.
