Which keeper has the best glovework?
« on: December 17, 2009, 10:47:37 PM »
Who do you think has the best Glovework, so basically the best keeper minus their batting!

My shortlist has to be from:

Mark Boucher
Brad Haddin
Niall O'Brien
James Foster
Craig Kieswetter

Very good keeper, very few byes good off the spinners and quicks, standing up or back. Solid all round, ugly but effective.

Dhoni's glove work is decent at best..

India's best keeper is Dinesh Karthik IMO

International - Boucher..

If Dhoni's glovework was as good as his batting, then he would be super-human! He is decent behind the stumps, but not up with the best!

I still think that Foster is one of the best and quickest!

After that I will never consider Haddin a good keeper or cricketer...

Prasanna Jayawardena is the best gloveman in the world by a country mile.
