T20 is not Mickey Mouse cricket, says Gilchrist


DURBAN: Wicket keepers Brendon McCullum and MS Dhoni have emerged amongst the most explosive Twenty20 batsmen in the world, it was Adam Gilchrist who was responsible for changing the role of the wicket-keeper forever. When he gets going, his upper cuts over third man, his slashes through point and smashing pulls over midwicket are all epitome of raw power and timing. All this and he's a pretty good keeper too.

In an exclusive interview with iplt20.com, Deccan Chargers captain Gilchrist spoke his heart out about Twenty20 cricket and his team’s performance so far.

On Twenty20 cricket: It is a skillful game. Twenty20 is not Mickey Mouse cricket. It requires quick thinking and one bad decision can turn the match. So, the challenge is to come up with new things and innovative idea on the field. Twenty20 is like a game of poker who ever blinks first loses.
