Gilchrist ready for cricket

Published October 16, 2006

MUMBAI, Oct 15: Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist said on Sunday he was ready to get into the gruelling Champions Trophy drill after taking a break from the game.

“I feel really good and fresh. The two practice games we played have just been enough to get back and ready to play,” he said after a warm-up match against Mumbai.

Gilchrist scored 61 in his team score of 292 for nine chasing a self-imposed target of 300-plus against Mumbai in a practice game at the MIG club.
