Dismissals per game is a really really odd way to rate keepers, especially when you are completely relying on the bowlers to create chances(not in your control) and not much on your ability to take those chances.
Dismissals per game is excellent way of rating a keeper and it is not just about bowlers creating chances, it is also about keepers taking them. To be honest, I am worried you don't watch cricket, if you did you would realise, for example, the last three tests where Jimmy, Woakes and Broad created many, many chances and quite a few were dropped by Buttler. If his dismissals weren't that high this series, are you going to whinge chances were not created? Utter nonsense there mate.
This series is a perfect example of why dismissals per game is a poor matrix for measuring and comparing the quality of wicketkeeping. Despite the countless missed chances and very poor wicketkeeping to which you refer, Jos Buttler still achieved nine dismissals in the series. Buttler's Pakistani rival Mohammad Rizwan, whose keeping was generally rated as outstanding, took just six dismissals in the very same series. So the keeper who in your own words dropped quite a few chances, achieved a significantly better rate of dismissals per match than the man who by general consent totally outclassed him throughout the whole series.

BUT that is not the only reason I gave for Gilly > Dhoni, Gilly has also taken more dismissals also, in fewer games and was a better batsman in better, more important games for Australia.
But my main point is, Dhoni can not be the greatest ODI player ever if he can't even be the undisputed best keeper ever. If you think a guy with less dismissals in 63 more games is the best keeper AND THE BEST ODI PLAYER EVER, fairplay to you but I'd hate to live in your world
Has he made a good one yet?
It also varies wildly depending on conditions. It's the James Anderson of statistics.
I respect your attitude but you are so wrong about everythingDismissals per game is excellent way of rating a keeper and it is not just about bowlers creating chances, it is also about keepers taking them.

Confirms my suspicion about your lack of comprehension skills. When did I say Dhoni is the best keeper or the best ODI player ever lol. I was just telling you can't really rate 2 keepers based on dismissals per innings.Dismissals per game is excellent way of rating a keeper and it is not just about bowlers creating chances, it is also about keepers taking them.

The issue is the dismissals per match will depend on where you play. Hard bouncy wickets produce more catches to the keeper and slips, where as slow, low wickets will provide catches to gullys, silly and short fielders. Dhoni may not be the best keeper, but he is one of the top 5 ODI bats. In Sri Lankan context, there were no name keepers who took more dismissals per match than Prasanna Jayawardene, just because home games in minnow days were played on faster and greener wickets. That don't stop us rating PJ as the best keeper SL had.Dismissals per game is excellent way of rating a keeper and it is not just about bowlers creating chances, it is also about keepers taking them.

Why?
Yeah, kinda sad for Viv , Sachin and Akram but seems like they are no longer in contention for the best ODI cricketers.
That's deep.
Small dick joke or I'll bite your **** off joke?
Well that escalated
With his great job and connections, he just might.
