ADELAIDE, Oct 10: Injury-jinxed paceman Jason Gillespie wants to make up for lost time by playing in all six Test matches of the Australian cricket summer.

Gillespie said he understands the magnitude of the task he has set himself but treasures each chance to represent his country after battling injury setbacks throughout his international career.

“I want to play all the Tests this season,” Gillespie said Wednesday.

“That’s going to be a big challenge to do that. Hopefully I can stay fit and my form can be good enough to get selected.

“With my past, I’ve missed a lot of cricket and I’m trying to make up for lost time, so to speak. I don’t want to have any bad games, I want to be very consistent.”—AFP
