to be honest there is a distinct lack of class with all the keeper you mention yes there all good batsman but keepers alone well someone show me a better gloveman in the world than chris read and before i get jumped on i mean gloveman not batsman

[Howzat]

I actually agree... Thats why when anyone starts a "post your england team for xxx" he is always my keeper. Hes a great gloveman and he isnt a mug with the bat, I remember him hitting a six off the last ball of a ODI to win the game for us

[jandgcricket]

Foster and everyone knows it... Surely if you gave him a chance I reckon he'd be one for good no joke!

[stevie]

If he hadn't have got injured in India and letting Stewart back in i reckon he wouldv'e still been England keeper.

Mushfiqur Rahim best gloveman,
McCullum is the best wicketkeeper batsmen

[Timbo]

How much I hate to say it but I think in a few season's time some people will be mentioning Brad Haddin (oh that hurts) -once he gains more experience with his glove work and batting. I've said it before but I think Foster is England's best gloveman but I am happy for Matt Prior at the moment, he's doing nicely

[Marcussjd9]

Haddin was 30 when came into the International scene I'd hardly say he is inexperienced.
He's a more than capable batsman especially in the OD format.

[Timbo]

I'm talking about full on international experience, i don't recall too many times Gilchrist didn't play

[ianbuchanan]

mccullum.

Prasanna Jayawardene for Keeping alone,
McCullum for the batting side,
Ms Dhoni is the best all rounder though, in all forms..

McCullum's hardly consistance with the bat, averages low 30's in Tests and high 20's in ODI's.

[irwinster]

after watching the sa vs aussies series mcullums wicket keeping was pretty good and he puts his body on the line when he was carrying an injury. his batting isnt consistent but when its right hes deadly, sangakarra has to be best batsmen tho no competition

[Coach]

Boucher as the best keeper Sangakkara as the best keeper batter

[bucko2007]

McCullum, no doubt... Dhoni is overrated

[Jeet]

Bucko - Dhoni is overrated which way?

The way I see it is, Dhoni, is the best captain going around, by a long stretch. Coupled with that a might good lower order batsman in Tests and awesome finisher in ODI's, and most importantly his keeping ain't too bad either.

McCullum's keeping is hardly special, he does the odd piece of magic, but when keeping to spin, that's if Vettori ever turns the ball, isn't as difficult as keeping to Harbhajan or Mishra like Dhoni does.
