Adam Gilchrists final international batting performance was so short, the supporters who were a minute late returning from dinner missed it. Instead of going out with a bang, Gilchrist disappeared in three balls and the closest he got to an explosion was when he was crowded by photographers as he tried to exit the field. As the Indians celebrated their 2-0 success, Gilchrist hosted a party in the dressing room for family and friends to mark the end. “To the team and all the support staff, its been a magic ride,” he said. “Its not a fairytale ending tonight, but its been a fairytale career. To be involved with you guys is something Ill hold dear in my heart for the rest of my life.”
