Gilly is 36 but still it's a surprise to hear he is retiring straight after this test and not playing out the summer. Whether he's been pushed or he's just sick of the hounding he is copping from the media lately, farewell Gilly and thanks for the memories :clapping  :bow.

Earlier reports had him retiring after this test but Gilly will play out the one-dayers.

CRICKET legend Adam Gilchrist last night announced his retirement from Test cricket, but his international career will continue until the end of next month's one-day series.

The greatest batsman-wicketkeeper of all time told shocked friends and teammates yesterday before revealing the stunning decision to Cricket Australia.
