NormGilchrist turns to the NBL to win WACA test.
After being criticised by the Sri Lankans for inserting a squash ball into his glove during the World Cup final to gain an unfair advantage, Adam Gilchrist has decided to use a basketball in both gloves during his second innings in Perth. He also plans to put two soccer balls in his shoes to cope with the extra bounce at the WACA. "I wont be wearing traditional pads either," Gilly said. "I've cut down a couple of AFL goal posts and will be strapping them to my shins." Instead of a helmet, Gilcrhist will wear a netball on his head with specially cut-out eye sections so he can see. Instead of the traditional 'protector' known as a box to protect his nether regions, Gilchrist will strap a real cardboard box around his loins. "It's a box a hockey stick comes in when you order them online," he said. "It might look a bit silly at first, but it will give me extra protection, being almost a metre long." Instead of thigh pads, Gilchrist will bend two tennis racquets in half and insert them into his creams. "They will give extra value for leg byes," he said, "due to the bounce." Instead of a chest guard, Gilly will tie a dart board to his chest and wear a larger-than-normal shirt. "We can learn a lot from other sports."
