BS. He has done some good work on his keeping and has outshone Foakes in this match thus far.

I mean his body is still nowhere near the ball half the time when he collects it, it's all hands. His stumping was spectacular but because he had to move so extravagantly to catch the ball, then turn and leap at the stumps to break them. Athletic but not 'good' keeping.

He's kept well, but that's just a product of being high in confidence really. He hasn't turned a corner.

Like his batting he has a way of doing his keeping. Let him be him as long as results are effective.

You can't keep like this to Ashwin and Co. If you lack basics.

evidence of 1 good match behind the sticks vs a whole career, but if you subscribe to 'basics aren't real' then you do you.

You guys are both right. @penile @zor@x

He’s clearly done a bit of work in terms of keeping his hands together and collecting the ball as opposed to grabbing it. He still does it if you watch closely but it looks better now.

He also stands up way too quickly which I’ve been harping about for ages. It’ll take time to rectify that though and I’m sure he’s working on it.

All that aside he’s kept very well.
