Has to be Gilchrist. Thoroughly enjoy Engineer's stints in the Sky commentary box, but Eric's a genuine all-time great and seems a thoroughly nice chap to boot. His keeping was very undervalued (as has been amply demonstrated by his bollock handed successor), but his batting was something else. Had a wonderfully simple MO, but always seemed to play proper cricket shots and play them hard.

Gilly

 

[Jezroy]

The murderer of many New zealand dreams, but I will still vote for Gilchrist
