Taibu is best

Post by Conant »

Any one who thinks Tatenda Taibu can be replaced as wicketkeeper has got to be dreaming. When former Aussie keeper Ian Healy was asked his opinion in 2004 on who was the best wicketkeeper in the world he replied thaw it would be between Adam Gilchrist and Tatenda Taibu.
Not Ridley Jacobs, not Brandon McCullum, not James Foster; and we know the subcontinent has never settled on any particular wicketkeeper. And Mark Boucher... well, Mark Boucher is plain clumsy.
While Taibu’s batting is not world class, his skill behind the stumps is still unparalleled and remains undiminished. No wicketkeeper has really stepped up since, save for AB de Villiers, who is kept out by tradition, status quo and his all round talents in the field. Which leaves – guess who – as the world best keeper?
