    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    No it is not, if it was teams would be going with player with better keeping skills instead of batting. Foakes dropped, Saha dropped, teams know that wicket keeping is no more a specialist thing and thats what matters. Specialist wicketkeepers are done for, finished , kicked into oblivion.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Do you think there is a significant difference there?

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    But yeah if you are saying whether I will swap Gilchrists keeping with Rizwan then yes, there’s hardly much difference there. Not significant enough to help us win more games.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Rizwan is not good enough to tie shoelaces of Gilchrist as a batsman.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Then he was shitty at home which is like 50% of the games to end up averaging 30 odd overall. How is he miles ahead as a keeper, and what does that mean, Rizwan is as safe a keeper as it gets, anything above that is just bonus and not a deciding factor.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Wriddhiman Saha also averaged 30 and was one of the best keeper of his era. Also more centuries per innings. Maybe he is a legend for you, for me he is mediocrity exemplified just like Alan Knott.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    BTW Rizwan is also miles ahead of Alan Knott.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Alan Knott :lol: Averaging 32 after 95 tests, these old timers are really something. Why not have Wridhhiman Saha as 4th then, 40 tests 3 centuries at 30 and was as good a keeper as any, and that man was dropped for Pant. Maybe Foakes can also come in with 2 hundreds in 25 tests.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    I know that you are getting wet dreams coz the name of his IPL team starts with Chennai but he is from Maharashtra, so pipe down.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Eswaran should come in for Rohit, he has better performances and sample size is also bigger. There is absolutely no reason to include Ruturah here, he doesn' belong there.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Ruturaj is not an international class player, he is decent on flat pattas but as soon as he faces challenging bowling and conditions he falters. I have seen this both in IPL and FC cricket, also he doesn't pass the eye test at all, he is below the talent threshold required for test cricket.

    The decline of the part-time medium pacer

    Batsman’s attacking skills have increased by a lot, and these type of military medium pacers are exactly the kind who will get mauled. The bats don’t have anything to do with it, there is no significant changes in bats from late 90s to now, Sachin carried a bigger bat than Kohli. I don’t see...

    Alan Knott vs James Anderson

    Anderson > Knott +Healy +Dujon + Kirmani + Bari + jack Russell + Ben Foakes The only wicketkeepers pre 1980 that should be respected are Les Ames Lee Ervine Farokh Engineer

    Alan Knott vs James Anderson

    Specialist Wicketkeepers are not cricketers. Liton Das > Alan Knott What the hell are you guys smoking? Imagine playing cricket for 20 years and the only thing you know is how to catch a ball and that too with gloves on. Alan Knott is basically like a Tim Paine who got lucky.

    AB de Villiers vs Graeme Smith

    ABD winning by some margin, when all of them were at their best AB for me was the 4th best batsman in that SA team. For me the overall order would be: Kallis Smith Abd Amla
