well said, even i was thinking on the same lines. i mean it would be a hindrance to me if i did it. i think it just was a mental thing.that his coach gave an idea. and he decided to use it. maybe he got some success with it, and he took it as a catalyst,albeit not correctly. sometimes mentally if you think something is a good idea, even if it actually doesn't change the situation, you tend to do better, because of the psychological effect. and i think that's the case with gilchrist too.
