Our best wicket keeper in recent times?

Post by CholeZimbo »

With this shocking display from Moor today, who do you guys think has been our best behind the stumps, and do we bring in a specialist keeper for the second match?

not sure if we have a good keeper anywhere. Regis and Richmond both struggle, Mutizwa has hard hands apparently, Mayavo cant bat at all, nor can a couple of others. Probably Regis is our best...

Ever since the last U19s World Cup I've thought we should take a punt on or at least have invested in Murray.

and it looks they will play Regis next match but in place of who? if waller impresses then who will make way. the one who performs poorly between waller and hamilton will likely be dropped, but if they both perform then there is a headache. then maybe if moor himself doesnt bat well then he might be dropped, hmm its a tough one

I think Chari is the first on the chopping block. If he doesn't improve on his average of 6 he won't play the next Test.

I agree with this. My concern is Regis' last few months with the bat have been very lean. Expecting him to 'find form' in a test match is brave.

True but he really came out of no where to perform well in BD a few years back ....

The thing about Regis is he has a great technique but always gets out playing dumb shots, same with his keeping great tekkers but drops catches and misses stumpings .....

Doesn't matter who it is Regis, Richmond or Moor all 3 are average behind the stumps, BRMT was better but he still missed a few chances here and there. Taibu was probably the best but he's picking the sides now ......

Taibu best by far, if our current keepers are only average behind the stumps, then we should persist with the better batsman.
