My Father rates Dujon very highly tho.Also pretty sure Dujon wasn't World Class to spinners, would rate Dhoni ahead as a keeper.

Of all the keepers, he’s the one that’s kept farthest away from the stumps behind the wicket.My Father rates Dujon very highly tho.
Dhoni was great in ODIs with how he pressured the bats, but pretty meh in tests. For people with long keeping stints, I think I might rate him the best in ODIs I've seen, and the worst in tests.Safer and Great against spin, so yeah. Dhoni really is getting underrated now.....

Dhoni was very ugly but his gloveswork was top notch against spin and more than adequate to pace.Dhoni was great in ODIs with how he pressured the bats, but pretty meh in tests. For people with long keeping stints, I think I might rate him the best in ODIs I've seen, and the worst in tests.
Would depend on their stamina I guess. Even a single session of keeping in a test is 4x longer than a T20 and like 1.8x longer than an ODI.Surely any cricketers keeping skills don't change that much from format to format
Or overrated.
Dujon was pretty safe
I just don't rate keepers much higher based on just their performance to pacers. Sure, Dujon was World Class to pace, but he was at his best standing far back and had his issues even with bowlers like Harper.My Father rates Dujon very highly tho.
iirc I remember a certain keeper in some random article asserting that keeping to spinners was the true test of a keeper.I just don't rate keepers much higher based on just their performance to pacers.

I don't know about that, but I actually agree. Spinners needs much sharper reflexes on the get go. I have kept in a few friendlies, but even at that low level, spinners were nightmarishly tougher than pacers.iirc I remember a certain keeper in some random article asserting that keeping to spinners was the true test of a keeper.

Not quite the same skills. In tests, if you drop a catch you are having a horror show of a match. This forces the keeper back against pace.Surely any cricketers keeping skills don't change that much from format to format
Then let's agree to disagree. He was more than adequate to pacers more often than not and hardly dropped much.I don't think he was more than adequate against pace. Poor I think.
I may be overestimating the importance of pace in his career though. A lot of what I saw him keep to was pace on account of watching him play in RSA.

In LO a drop is often not as important. Run rate is sometimes key, and gets you wickets. He could stand up to a lot of bolwers, which he was outstanding at. He was outstanding at things like stumpings and runouts, which are much bigger factors in LOs- keeping the bats in the crease makes free scoring a lot trickier.
