No I think the batting between Knott and Gilly is closer in reality and otherwise a keeper like Knott will enhance the bowling attack a touch more.

1) No their batting isn't close
2) Might as well field Godfrey Evans if you don't care for the runs from Keeper

Sure.

What if Bob Taylor was put into comparison with Knott based on pure wicket keeper skills.

Pretty much everyone said that Bob Taylor was better. Since there are no stats to assess wicketkeepers, we just have to believe the pundits.

Choose Jack Russell

Considering every ATG team has 6 great batsmen including Don Bradman, I think choosing the best pure wicket keeper isn’t a bad idea.

 

[sayon basak]

Choose Jack Russell

Why?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Choose Jack Russell

Two among the best English posters here have assessed Jack Russell as extremely Overrated. According to them, he was ATG to pace but just alright to spin; and his keeping was a major factor behind an English Series loss.

From footages, he looks like a trickster to me.

When did I analyze Jack Russell

Coolest keeper. The swag, shades and hat. He used to some unbelievable things and acted as if nothing happened. Maybe it’s nostalgia. He was the best imo.

He is overrated imo.

Choose Jack Russell

No we can't totally ignore batting. And Knott is probably better than him as a keep anyways.

I am not sometimes comfortable choosing pre war cricketers and in that case Sunny for Hobbs and McGrath/Steyn over Barnes.
