Gilchrist shines
Adam Gilchrist scored a brilliant 154 to power Australia to a record total in the limited overs match against Sri Lanka at the MCG on Sunday. The opening batsman survived a run out chance on nought and a dropped catch early in his innings to smash his second century of the Tri-series competition and set a record score for an Australian player.
