Greatest batsman to keep in FC matches

Bradman when keeping
1 match 148 @ 148 1 ton
Bradman when not keeping
233 matches 27919 @ 94.32 116 tons

3 catches and a stumping to lead SA to a loss to NSW (**** you traitor)

Too bad he could’ve become the world’s greatest keeper batsman.

(ofc he took a stumping, he was playing with his favourite spinner, Ward!)

Well giving Bradman the gloves now frees up a spot in the all time Australian and world XIs. Sorry Gilly!

Bradman as a bowler - got Hamilton out
Bradman as a keeper - stumped Oldfield, caught McCabe
Also affected 8 run outs in his 52 test matches.

Sidenote: Jack Hobbs apparently had 19 run outs during his 61 test career - the most in test history

note: this run out data is from 2012 - I’ll check to see if there are more updates.

Hazlewood always creates history.
Took fifer when IND bowled out for 36 ,
took fifer when Eng bowled out for only 67 ,

Couldn't survive last 2 ball and he is responsible for wi historic Gabba win vs aus.

Couldn't survive last 2 ball and he is responsible for bangladesh historic test win vs Aus .

Maurice Leyland averaged 57 in Ashes tests, making 7 hundreds in just 34 Ashes innings, 6 of them were made against O Reilly.

He also averaged 4 against West Indies in 8 innings, gaining 3 ducks in just 8 innings, without the West Indies, his career average is 6.37 runs higher than his actual final average. Poor lad.

Vijay Manjrekar and Sanjay Manjrekar
Lala Amarnath and Mohinder Amarnath (Surinder also scored 8K+)


Additionally, IAK Pataudi, father of Mansur's scored 8750 runs.
