It is a long time since I have written a cricket blog.The grand finale ended in a nailbiting finish. It was once again a Gilchrist Show, one which we had seen in the semifinals. This time it was a different show. It was his captaincy prowess which dominated the rivals.The fielding placement , the bowling changes and the on field pressure created on the batsman go to his credit.I remember the test series against India. The Aussies came without their in form Captain Ricky Ponting.Before that test series, Steve Waugh left no stone unturned to demolish the Indian Team in India but failed in his attempts.Gilchrist led the team and overpowered India in their own soil. I noticed that there is a different rare talent in every Aussie Captain, be it Allan Border,Mark Taylor,Steve Waugh,Ponting or Gilchrist and not to forget Shane Warne in the last IPL. The talent of creating and putting pressure on the opponents.That's what Gilchrist did this year and Warne did last year.
So I beleive that in the next IPL , all teams must make it a point to include one or more Aussie players in the team and make them a part of the decision making body.The mistake which Delhi Dare Devils did by excluding the all time great , The Glenn McGrath.
