I think so far the only other options for wicketkeeper would realistically be Healy, Mark Boucher or Jeff Dujon. Russel simply didn't play enough.

If we must have Gilchrist opening the batting, let's at least relegate him to the outfield!
I think Gilchrist can be trusted to 'keep to the quicks, and he's kept to Warne successfully for years, so if Warne gets chosen then Gilchrist can be trusted to 'keep to him as well. And if Murali gets chosen, I'd guess that he could 'keep to him successfully to him, too. If Gilchrist has Ian Healy's trust, that's good enough for me.
