Happens once in a while. I don't want him to end up like Ajay Ratra or Chris Read. He can definitely stretch his average in this series, but if they play 6 batsmen and 2 bowlers who can bat, they don't need a wicketkeeper who can bat. Even 20 runs with the bat can be effective with such a batting lineup ahead of him.
