Andy Flower vs Ian Botham

[DrWolverine]

Well they can ask them to share the gloves. Less load for both, Win-win for all

Has something like that ever happened?

Has something like that ever happened?

Has 2 mid keepers who both are team's best bats ever played together?

Alec Stewart was an amazing batter when not keeping...****ing England.

Atherton. Stewart. Hick. Thorpe.
This was the top order I remember.
Andy playing at 5 would have been good for England.

These are the main names from that era.
Atherton, Stewart, Hussain, Thorpe, Hick, Ramps Butcher, Crawley

Atherton, Stewart, Hussain, Thorpe, FLOWER should be the top 5.

And like I said Houghton and Goodwin certainly don’t look out of place alongside players of this calibre.

I'd pick Goodwin at 4, Thorpe at 5 and Flower at 6.

True

But he would also play without the burden of being a wicketkeeper and have other good batsman around him

england of course well known for the top tier management of their keepers in the 90s.
