Adam Gilchrist,the Australian Wicket Keeper and the worlds most exciting cricketer (when he gets going) hit his one hundredth test six yesterday against the somewhat hapless Sri Lankans during the second test in Hobart. I am surprised that it is not more or that more batsmen have not hit more prior to this. Apparently the ball he hit to make the record did not make it's way back on to the ground and has disappeared, no doubt to end up on some sports auction somewhere.
Most of the focus before the series was on whether Murali would get his world record for most wickets in Test Cricket. That doesn't seem likely and it seems more likely that it will be the English who have this honour when they meet in the first test in Kandy, Murali's home town next month.
