I cannot imagine how he found it helpful. I feel it would be extremely inconvenient to bat like that. What ever little cricket I have played, I was more comfortable with more close contact with the handle. Let other try this and score big, then we will have something to talk about.

I am aboslutely in agreement with Renu. It is indeed very difficult to hold a bat with some object in the gloves.Having played cricket at considerable level, I feel it is ridiculous to degrade a player of the capability of Gilchrist for foul play. He has been devstating batsman and did prove this many times. Cricketer like him are born rarely. He is player who can fit into any side of any era.it is dubious to question his ability as every team in World has faced his onslaught when ever played against him. It is not grip or some item helps him to score but his technique, reflexes and ability to sight the ball early which are strenghts of Great Gilly.
