    ODI Wicket Keeper Poll: Discussion

    That's possibly the Top 5 with Sanga making the first 6 after 2 rounds of voting. But then, surprises might be in store.

    ODI Wicket Keeper Poll: Discussion

    I'm surprised that so much discussion, directly or indirectly, is making reference to the ODI Batsmen Poll. That's done and dusted, regardless of views of the results. Surely this should be about wicketkeepers, not Gillie vs Sehwag.

    ODI Wicket Keeper Poll: Discussion

    When I post the results and the table of stats, I will only show stats as the nominated keeper. Thus far, most of the nominated players (Gillie, Sanga, Jos, QdK) have had a few games when they weren't playing as a keeper.

    ODI Wicket Keeper Poll: Discussion

    To kick things off, I have done a cut and paste of @Fuller Pilch 's post in the poll. "Thoughts on how many matches / What percentage of matches someone has to keep? ABDV played 228 ODIs with 59 ODIs as wicketkeeper, so kept in just over 25% of his matches. In those 59 ODIs he averaged 70.54...

    ODI Wicketkeeper (batsmen) Poll

    After some delay, I'm reminded I promised to conduct an ODI 'keepers poll. Here it is. Unlike the Test poll, where there was some discussion/controversy over the balance of keeping ability and batting talent (most settled for a 50/50 ratio while others weighted keeping skills more highly), ODIs...

    Great All-Rounder Performances in a Test Series

    Over the years there have been some truly great all-rounders with names like Sobers. Imran, Miller, Kallis et al. Some, like Imran had periods where they dominated with the ball in some series and were outstanding with the bat in others. All, no doubt, have had series in which they returned...

    Interesting tactics here. FP scored Bradman and, with just 4 slots left, has jumped in and snared a true ATG. ataraxia and sayon have decided to jump ahead in time and target relatively modern ATGs. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out over the closing stages.
