Allan Knott vs Ben Stokes

Jeff Dujon Well Catch #nice #cricket

Guess this is enough for Dujon, guy kept against the most fearsome bowling

 

[Johan]

this is basically Stokes's bowling + fielding + captaincy + batting advantages vs Knott's keeping

 

[Cricket Bliss]

It's not ranked, instead other by country.

Gilchrist should be there, will add him. Probs Dujon too, but I rate keeping to spinners significantly higher than pacers and Dujon don't think was there. Marsh has a solid case, but like his nickname was "iron gloves" for a fair few years and he was the first Aussie keeper selected for batting. Still, probs him too though not sure whom to remove.

I don’t know about many keepers you mentioned, it is a very impressive job.
Dujon is unproven against spin… not his problem.. still is but for me from the footages available from the 70s he looks as the GOAT against fast bowling and more revered than Murray.. so he has to be there.
By the way I don’t remember seeing Murray keep, if any footages available please do share.

Marsh was named Iron Gloves… while debuting he wasn’t that great as far as i’ve heard, but against the devastating duo of Lillee and Thomson he proved his caliber.. and moreover held the record for most dismissals.

He wasn't though, pretty confident both Murrays were rated better keeper.

Again, I kinda value spin higher.

 

[Johan]

Another advantage Stokes has over Knott is he is 6'1 while Knott is 5'8, Stokes also has a much better beard, meaning that he is clearly much more of a man.

Why

 

[Johan]

Why

Evans is better than Taylor.

 

[Thala_0710]

Evans is better than Taylor.

That's debatable. I'd have Evans higher too, but it's chatgpt. Pretty good list I'd say by AI standards.

 

[Thala_0710]

Ian Smith was great, but not top 10 imo. That was my biggest issue here
