The Australian vice-captain stunned the cricketing world when he revealed he was quitting at the end of the summer, just 24 hours after breaking the world record for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in test cricket.
His team mates and even members of his own family were surprised by his decision, yet it was typical of a man who has always defied convention.
Just as he did whenever he was batting, Gilchrist opted to walk before the finger was raised, leaving on his own terms with his reputation intact.
