I'm totally against Gilchrist walking and am absolutely horrified each time he does it. Theres nothing to gain from it on the field. | Ok i've calmed down now.
Gilchrist starts to walk when he's nicked it even before the umpire raises his finger because he knows. Hussey "puppy dog eyes" says in the crease when he's nicked it. Who's the more noble man? I suppose the umpire decisions have been terrible recently (Strauss anybody?) But at least Hussey + other players could've been gentlemanly and said "Ok I'm out, I'm walking". But IMO if that had been an England player who had nicked it and stayed in the crease, the umpire's finger would be whipped out and straight up in the air.
