Wow !!! this is an awesome initiative from Amway... little do we realize that when Gilly hits a six its Amway who pays and not Gilly.... I would love Gilly to hit 6's as this would mean a lot to these kids... Amway way to go. Remember where there is a will there is AMWAY !!
He is a role model for youngsters.. he conducts himself both on and off the field
during the 2003 world cup semis vs Srianka..he spontaniously turned towards the dressing room after he edged to keeper(umpire unsure)...most cricketer would have stayed at wicket given the significance of the match - WORLD CUP SEMIS
Being a deccan fan i looking forward to ANDREW SYMONDS who will join the squad after pak series...Afridi in terrific form 6-30 vs australia last night..undortunately decans missing his services
deccan chargers are fully charged up this time and i hope they will win this ipl and gilchrist be the man of the tournament and hit as many as sixes he can because this will benefit the differently abled children ............gilchrist u r great man........

its Gilchrist who sponsors a kid from mumbai slums... so its his initiative not hayden or others.. gil is gr8...
Wasnt he the guy who called tendulkar lacking in sportsman spirit, in an effort to boost his "books" sale? He probably lost out on endorsment deals, so to regain the indian sponsors trust and the public, which readily embraces western cricketers, Gilchrist has decided to something worthwhile. AS long as kids benefit its ok. But dont forget that Dravid,kumble etc also support worthwhile causes. Media can also show a bit of focus on them.

Gilchrist is the best sportsman in the history.. same Gilchrist & his parents sponsoring kids in indian slums...unlike tendulcar jus fit to get money from his hotels..
when engish team was sponsoring money to mumbai bomb blast this tendulkar sponsored his century.. useless

Ofcourse...
I lost some respect when he asked IT waivers for the Ferrari he imported from Italy. His argument? He was serving the country! Jawans who die for India are seldom remembered. This is India
