Ranking of test cricketers who have played 100 tests

[Fuller Pilch]

Hooper should be 80th on all of these imo

No. He was clearly better than Bairstow.

 

[sayon basak]

Healy too high? Easily the best keeper on the list, and in the top three or so glove men I've seen in nearly 50 years watching cricket. He was a genius.

Do you think Healy is better than rod marsh and Mark Boucher?

Healy was better than both of them quite significantly as a keeper. Marsh's nickname early on his career was iron gloves and he was generally considered an inferior glovesman to contemporaries like Knott and Kirmani. On the other hand, while Bouchee has his longevity, he really only was good to pacers and darn average to spinners who turned big.

Yeah he was really top shelf. Honestly better than those guys pretty easily. He's borderline in the Knott/ Bob Taylor class as a pure glove man tbh.

I've also just gone back through the list in the OP and he's got Joe Root as a better cricketer than Allan Border.

FMD, I suppose in fairness it's a decent effort to create a list that long after being lobotomized.

 

[BazBall21]

I wouldn’t call Wasim an all conditions bowler the same way I wouldn’t call Kallis an all conditions batsman.

Really? Would have to agree to disagree there.

 

[OverratedSanity]

On the other hand, while Bouchee has his longevity

I don't believe you know him well enough to call him that

 

[Fuller Pilch]

McCullum was also a better keeper than Boucher.

 

[GIMH]

Anyone else wondering how @Red_Ink_Squid will work Woakes in?

Is this in order? Just curious

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Is this in order? Just curious

I think it is since PFK rates Sunny as the prime candidate for best since Bradman

Yes

This is meant to be an actual question not me saying Healy is inferior.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I can't say much about Rod Marsh having never seen him but Boucher was about smack on average as a keeper. Handy bat but nothing special there either.

Whereas Healy was genuinely elite. Comparing him to Boucher is a massive insult.

Sorry brah didn't mean to insult him

 

[Coronis]

Healy was definitely better than Marsh too for mind. Marsh might get a bit overrated for his famous caught Marsh bowled Lillee thing.

Yeah fair enough
