He's dropped a few in the last 3 series I've watched him keep. Still he's a decent keeper and a very good wicket keeper batsman. Dhoni has obviously played more knocks than Haddin and Haddin has done well since then. In a way I'd say they are equal but Haddin looks more assured in the middle than Dhoni IMO. Hence would put haddin ahead of Prior and Dhoni by a whisker.
Rahim's improved as a keeper over the past three years or so but he's still quite sloppy imo, nowhere near as bad as he was in 2008 but he still makes the odd mistake too often.
Are you serious?? I have seen all the 4 test matches so far and Prior has not missed one.. neither has Haddin..and both have kept to some really wayward and awkward bounces at times.
Exactly what I was gonna say, but would prefer Jahurul Islam over Dhiman Ghosh. Only slightly worse as a keeper and is a gun batsman.
Was better than Haddin in this series with the gloves tbf. Won't call him poor at all. In fact is one of the better keepers around now.
The Channel 9 commentary team cannot get over how awesome Prior and Hadding have been behind the stumps this summer and I tend to agree..But then again I am used to watching Kamran Akmal..that is poor keeping. After having to deal with that, Haddin and Prior are the best in the world.
Prior actually did get dropped at one point despite the fact that he was averaging about 43 with the bat at the time; his keeping was so poor. I thought you would've known that because Ambrose was his replacement and he rescued England from the mire against New Zealand shortly after coming into the team.
This.
Did you read it?
And you don't agree that Shakib and Tamim would walk into the current side?
He is way way way better than when he first played. His footwork has improved out of sight.
