Alan Knott wouldn’t make the current English team (or the Indian team, or the Australian team, or the Bangladesh team)

He would make all of those teams comfortably. Extremely handy batter and one of the greatest with the gloves – like a moderate downgrade on Watling.

He'd literally make all of them. He'd even make the current Indian team on batting alone considering the form of most of the batsmen lmao.

That's extremely far fetched.

And if that was the case, that speaks more to the selectors than him.

Ok so you remember him being average behind the stumps then? That's all I wanted to confirm.

Not only remembered, but watched some long form highlight clips and read match reports. Even in some highlights you get mentions of stuff like, "he holds onto this one", referencing previous drops

Again, you're the peer ratings guy. Is it possibly that he was that great and it was somehow missed by the entire cricketing community?

I imagine the Pant chatter will pop up at some point in the future as well.

I guess for me the difference between a safe vs great keeper isn't as essential. But if Flower is not even safe, then that's an issue.

Not to mention they name an all time leftie XI and the names that were selected over the likes of

Allan Border
Alan Davidson
Graeme Pollock
Neil Harvey
Hedley Verity
Derek Underwood

The discourse was poor.

Yeah a bunch of shockers in that video. Kimber is usually sharper but that was disappointing.

The level of cricketing acumen from the other two was even worse, but some what clarifies some stuff for me. Especially for the younger generation.
