Gilchrist also completed his 4,000 runs in Test cricket to become fifth wicket-keeper to perform this feat. Now only Alec Stewart (4,540 runs in 82 Tests), Andy Flower (4,404 in 55), England's [Images] Alan Knott (4,389 in 95) and Australia's Ian Healy (4,356 in 119) have more career runs than Gilchrist as keeper.
