When a white does it, its never cheating - if Dhoni had adopted a similar method and managed to smash his way to a record, the entire media and ICC fraternity would be on his case, like nobody's business...

It's not cheating at all. The issue is not white or black. All batsmen put extra grip on the bat for a firmer grip. Rahul dravid wears extra gloves for better grip. If one thinks gilly was cheating, how about Dravid?? The ball in no way helped Gilchrist in getting extra power except help his grip. Please do not make an issue out of a non issue. People who have played competitive cricket would know what I am talking about. Besides had Gilchrist been cheating he would have never revealed that he had the ball in his gloves. Think rationale....
