Whatever it takes!!!
Voted Gilly as he did it far longer than AB but I dont really think I remember AB messing up much behind the stumps at all. In fact, I recall him being just as good as any specialist keeper.

I can't remember much of his early career keeping. He looked pretty sloppy with the gloves for a few tests after Boucher retired. Not dropping anything that I can recall, but just technically didn't look like a specialist test keeper. After a few tests he started looking a bit less sloppy. Not technically great, but he was really fast and athletic. So did seem to be decent specialist quality. Feel like he was fairly mediocre by specialist standards on average. Probably would have been very good if he had spent more time doing it.
