Pick the Other Guys' Team Draft

Wicket Keeping is an art. It requires nimble footwork, good positioning of the body and the ability to hunt like a hawk. Not all are competent for the job. It needs a different set of skill and stamina. You can not be mentally fragile to be the chosen one behind the stumps. Adapting takes a big part because you never know, unless you are the captain, who is going to bowl- a spinner or a pacer. Then comes the question of how far a wicket keeper should stand to a pacer. The standing position is important because based on that the whole slip cordon is going to stand. A wicket keeper has to accurately measure the pace of the pitch so those edges don't fall short. Standing behind stumps for the medium pacers also can prove difficult at times. Judging the revs, spin and flight is tiresome ball after ball when two spinners operate from both ends. I have found that special one for AgentTBY who perfectly suits the role of wicket keeper in his team. He is agile, light footed and waits for prey. He is a predator. No less feared than the shark. His drop to catch ratio is the greatest. He is none other than Kamran Akmal.
