He said that in his last phone discussion with Strauss before play started on the second morning of Yorkshire's match at Taunton he had been told just that there was a "favored applicant" and had been given to comprehend that his kindred Australian Bayliss was the ECB's decision to succeed Peter Moores.
Be that as it may, he absolved Strauss from any fault in what seems to have been another humiliating hole, with news that Bayliss had acknowledged the occupation social occasion pace even with no official declaration.
"I knew before the news turned out," Gillespie said. "That is one thing the ECB may need to deal with in light of the fact that things do appear to be turning out yet I addresses Straussy early toward the beginning of today and one thing I was awed with is that Andrew had the capacity reach me and let me know. So I've truly no issue with that."
He completely embraced Bayliss as the best man for the position taking after his victories in Australia with New South Wales and the Sydney Sixers, with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and with Sri Lanka, whom he took to the 2011 World Cup last.
"Britain needed a mentor with a demonstrated reputation, and in the event that it is Trevor, as it seems likely, his reputation's totally incredible," Gillespie said. "I've got truly no doubts about that. On the off chance that I place myself in Andrew's shoes, I'd most likely settle on the same choice truth be told.
"He is a decent administrator and I've just heard great things about him. Farby [England's between time head mentor Paul Farbrace] talks profoundly of him from the time he worked with him in Sri Lanka so I can't say anything negative. I wish him well."
Gillespie, the 40-year-old previous Australia bowler, conceded he would have probably accepted the occupation had it been offered however discovered a lot of positives to adjust his mistake.
"I have dependably seen it as a win-win from my end," he said. "I have landed two incredible positions - here with Yorkshire and with Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash. On the off chance that I had have landed offered a universal position I would have needed to have truly thought of it as, that is without a doubt. In any case, I don't see any negatives.
"My considerations were: 'what is the most exceedingly awful that can happen?' Go and sit for a meeting, which is another experience for me. I must be better for that, I saw I had nothing to lose.
"Straussy said to me, 'You talked with exceptionally well, yet we have settled on a choice that we are going to run with another applicant.' I said, that is fine, mate. I wish you well. You've got the chance to have faith in your choices and this is the thing that your occupation is."
Gillespie conceded there were components of the employment as it was introduced that were not perfect, but rather that the ECB's refusal to readmit Kevin Pietersen to the fold was not one of them.
"They made it clear they've got a position with Kev," he said. "I didn't have an issue with it. That positively wasn't any issue."
Where he may have had misgivings was over the period of time he would have been obliged to stay far from his young crew. "It is a monstrous responsibility and you are far from home a ton. It would have been something I would have needed to consider, yet I think in the event that I did get offered it I would have seized it."
