The far sighted intelligentsia of Cricket Australia thought that Adam Gilchrist was not fit to take on the captaincy as he did not fit into their definition of 'fair and hard' cricket because he is too naive and honest that he walks off the field once he realises that he has nicked the ball.  Even at present controversy he has maintained a dignified stance which doesn't fit the think tank of Cricket Australia.  I did hear his interview to one of the Indian media and his opinion was unbiased and carried a benchmark of sportsmanship.  Unfortunately CA thought that he doesn't play as 'fair and hard' as Mr.Clarke!
