Paying tribute to Adam Gilchrist, who announced his retirement after the third day of fourth and final Test at Adelaide Oval, South African wicketkeeper Mark Boucher said nobody in the world cricket can fill the Australian paramounts' place.
Gilchrist on Friday eclipsed his rival Boucher's record of 413 dismissals, when he caught India skipper Anil Kumble on the second day of Adelaide Test. The catch gave Gilchrist his 414th victim.
Boucher congratulated Gilchrist for his astounding contribution in the cricket.
"The night before I had sent him a text message after he went past me on the (Test dismissals) list, saying, 'congratulations on an incredible career, long may it continue,’" Boucher told The Sun-Herald from Cape Town on Saturday night.
