[grapedo]

Well I think if you can prove that he has taken the most catches and dismissals in history then that proves it.

Barry Bonds has hit the most Home Runs in the history of Major League Baseball.

Sachin Tendulkar has scored the most runs in the history of Test Cricket.

Doug Howlett has scored the most tries ever for the All Blacks.

Can you honestly say that these players were all the "best" at what they did simply because they achieved the "most" of something?

cmon don't be shy now

 

[grapedo]

Yes I can. And until you can name a keeper who is better than Boucher and prove why than I will stick to my guns thanks very much.

Who's to say he isnt

[Lillian Thomson]

Well he also holds the record for the least amount of byes let through in a series in india. This really convince me what a terrific player he is.

Could just be that sod all beat the bat.

Jack Blackham was considerably better. Why? Because he missed less, and stood up to the stumps in the days when protection offered by wicketkeeping gloves was pretty slim.

There's no shortage of others who were better than Boucher too. A few examples, counting purely players who played Test cricket in the 20th-century: Bert Oldfield, George Duckworth, Leslie Ames, Keith Andrew, Bob Taylor, Don Tallon, Alan Knott, Syed Kirmani, Deryck Murray. There won't be any shortage of others either.

None of them are better
sorry !

 

[Richard]

Yes, they are. Statistics can't tell you all that much about a wicketkeeper, unlike other cricketing skills. Hence, no amount of clueless posturing from someone who thinks the wicketkeeper with the most Test dismissals is the best will make the wicketkeeper with most Test dismissals the best wicketkeeper of all-time.

You're a clueless pratt, and the sooner you get banned the better.

Not sorry.

I realise that he's very frustrating, but these sort of posts won't be tolerated. I suggest you take your own advice and just learn to ignore him; I get the feeling you won't have to do it for very long so it's not worth the risk.

 

[Richard]

Good advice, I trust I won't be needing to do any ignoring at all now though?

 

[IndGunner]

Your a funny one richard and he is a dunce..
