Gilchrist to lead

By P.Subramanyam

LONDON, AUG.7. Adam Gilchrist will lead Australia in place of the injured Steve Waugh against England at Headingly next week, it was announced.

The tourists confirmed that the wicket-keeper/batsman has been promoted from vice-captain , which Steve Waugh will miss after tearing a calf muscle during the third Test at Trent Bridge last week. Ricky Ponting will act as Gilchrist's deputy.

Steve Waugh is undergoing treatment in the hope of being fit for the final match of the series at The Oval, but the prospects do not look bright and therefore, it is expected that Gilchrist may keep the job till the end of this series.
