Adam Gilchrist should have opened for Australia in Test match but unfortunately Aussies already had Langer and Hayden doing well at the top. So we did not see him as an opener, which is a shame because we don't know what record could have been broken if he was a opener in Test Cricket.
Its more to do with him being a keep imho. If he wasn't a wk, then we would have seen him top 3 but its very rare to see wk batting in top 5 no mTter how gd he is with the bat
