David Warner Compared To Adam Gilchrist

Batting sensation David Warner drew comparisons with the great Adam Gilchrist on Sunday night after his sensational international debut against South Africa at the MCG.There will be calls for Warner, who is yet to make his first-class debut, to be fast-tracked into the one-day side after his electrifying 89 off 43 balls, which earned him man-of-the-match honours.Australian captain Ricky Ponting said Warner's efforts reminded him of Gilchrist, who retired from international cricket at the end of last summer, saying it was some of the 'sweetest' hitting he had seen."It was like you were out there with Gilly when Gilly was in one of those moods that he was often in," said Ponting, who had no problems playing second fiddle to Warner.
