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 Alan Knott (4,389 in 95) and Australia's Ian Healy (4,356 in 119) have more career runs than Gilchrist as keeper.
