Andy Flower vs Adam Gilchrist vs Les Ames

[capt_Luffy]

The best Wicketkeeper test batsman ever. Batsmen keepers like Kumar Sangakkara, Clyde Walcott and A B de Villiers excluded

Is this as pure batsmen?

Flower is more in Sangakkara mould than Gilchrist mould.

I would say a flawed comparison.

It has to be Sangakkara vs ABDV vs Flower vs Stewart . . . .

or Gilschrist vs Pant vs DeKoch vs . . . .

I know, but he kept wickets long enough for Zimbabwe; and on including Sangakkara here, it wouldn't had been so much so contest anymore.

Quinton de Koch would have been a better option than Flower. Flower was a top class bat to start with.

Kinda, but Gilchrist is probably better than de Kock as a bat. It would again had been one sided. Flower being a middle order batsman in a quite low quality team and Gilchrist being a late order bat in basically one of world's best teams; is I thought made the comparison interesting.

Purely as a bat, its Flower. But Gilchrist definitely the better cricketer as he was a quality keeper as well.
