Gilly: Warne and McGrath were the key to our success

36-year-old Adam Gilchrist has ended his Test career.

Gilchrist will go down in history as one of the most destructive batsmen. He overtook Mark Boucher's world record for Test dismissals.

He made his Test debut in 1999, and scored 5,556 runs, took 377 catches and made 37 stumpings in his 96 consecutive appearances.

Gilchrist also holds the record for the highest number of sixes in Test cricket, with a trademark shot over the boundary against Sri Lanka in November 2007 bringing up his 100th.

He won the World Cup with Australia in 1999, 2003 and 2007 in his role as a devastating batsman for Australia's one-day side.
