Adam Gilchrist (best wicket keeper batter)



He is not.Yeah well,he might be good in one day cricket.He might be the best aggressive wicket keeper batsman.But in my opinion he is certainly the second best to sangakkara.Look at his test career to see the proof

I was under the same impression at first - you may have seen me name a "universal" list back on page 2 (since deleted). I realized that pretty much everyone else was just listing their personal favorites so I did the same. By the way, it's Shantakumaran Sreesanth, Sree Sreesanth or Sreesanth, not S. :D
Or SS. :ph34r:

If I was going to make a Test side it would look a little something like this.

1. Shoaib Malik
2. Shahriar Nafees
3. Rajin Saleh
4. Damien Martyn
5. Kevin Pietersen
6. Ryan den Doeschate
7. Adam Gilchrist (c) (wk)
8. Shaun Pollock
9. James Franklin
10. Brett Lee
11. Shane Bond

Little bit weak at the top of the order although the middle order is very strong, as is the lower order. Shoaib Malik would be the main spinner although Kevin Pietersen would get a trundle every now and then.

Very surprised that people have named Graeme Smith as a favourite. To each their own & all, but I think the bloke comes across as a big blow-hard myself. None too popular amongst his fellow pros either, from what some say.

Anyway, if we're talking in terms of global popularity I'd say Sachin & Dravid would be head-and-shoulders clear of anyone else because of the sheer weight of numbers of cricket fans in India. Or, at least, they were until recently... :ph34r:

Personally my favourite current player is BC Lara; absolute joy to watch when he's zonal. Others I like to watch & who seem decent coves include Gilchrist, Dravid, Kumble, Bond, Hussey, Pietersen, Colly & Fred. I did have a lot of regard for young Asif too until recently, but he has blotted his copybook somewhat.
In India the 2nd popular player is Ganguly,not Dravid.Dravid's popularity comes noway near Saurav's.Nobody will despise Indian cricket team if they throw out Dravid.That's what happened with Ganguly

I would be batting Sangakarra above Flintoff, he's just not a Test quality #6.

You are right, tbh. Bit silly of me really, but it is fave players, and fred is my fave atm, so I would give him every chance to score runs.

Yeah, actually Lee should probably bat above Bond, its not terribly well thought out:unsure:
