That can be problematic, no? I almost postponed picking John Waite thinking he is safe from you because you have already picked your keeper even though your players never met Waite. Can affect other drafters.

If you do it after end of round XI, that might be fine.

Was Shai Hope ever keeper?
Didn't know that tbh..

I wanted him as a top order bat,cos he played well in England.Does he keep in Tests as well?

 

[randycricfreak]

I was anyway going to pick a genuine keeper...

In case you guys didn't know about Jock Cameron

Cameron, for all his fearless hitting, will be chiefly remembered for his high place among wicket-keepers not only of South Africa but in his generation. His stumping of a batsman has been likened to the nonchalant gesture of a smoker flicking the ash from a cigarette--an apt simile of the speed and art of his deeds. Cameron's concentration upon his job was always evident; some of his stumping efforts dazzled the eyesight. To place him second only as a wicket-keeper to Oldfield is not undue praise. He was neither flamboyant nor noisy and he took the ball cleanly; in fact, his style may be described as the perfection of ease and rapidity without unnecessary show.

Dowrich has kept in England tests.He's the no.4

 

[Slifer]

Why do people join these drafts and then take a year and a Sunday to pick?? If you don't have the time...abstain!!!

Good pick. Trivia: Imtiaz Ahmed was the first wicketkeeper batsman to score a test double hundred.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I don't know much about him but I've picked him before. Seems an underrated cricketer judging by his pretty good record and most accounts of his keeping are good too.
