One or two: Gilchrist breaks record but India take charge - Telegraph
Rachael like the Torygraph

BBC SPORT | Cricket | Gilchrist sets dismissals record
Good old BBC.

Adam GIlchrist claims record but India take charge - Times Online

I like this one and I think the Aussie members will do also: Gilchrist believes record will vindicate glovework | Sports | Reuters
Quote:
ADELAIDE (Reuters) - Australia's Adam Gilchrist hopes to finally get the recognition he deserves for his prowess behind the stumps after the wicketkeeper-batsman broke the world record for the most test dismissals on Friday.
Well who can now argue?.

I think the (Reuters) link begs the question: Just how good is Adam GIlchrist compared to say Jack Russell, or better still Chris Read as a glovesman?.
