Even for Gilchrist there's a limit

Peter Roebuck writes that Adam Gilchrist must consider retiring from 50-over cricket.

Gilchrist has not been batting or keeping as well in recent Tests. His failures have been a reminder of how much the team had depended on him ... Here was a cricketer in need of a spell in the paddock.

Gilchrist, though, tells Trevor Marshallsea that he would like to carry on till the World Cup in 2007 and doesn't find it hard at all.
