Gilchrist's retirement is a shock from the blue. Cricket Australia has failed to honour him at the right time with captaincy that he had deserved and earned it. I do hope all the Boards governing cricket realise that cricket is about skill, application and form. It has nothing concerned with age. Some cricketer's due to their meritorious service deserve a dignified exit rather than pressurising them and squeezing out of their domain-cricket. It's not cricket!
