You also forgetting even when was a keeper he batted at no 3 which is basically playing as an opener and the other wicketkeeper always batted down at no 5-7(including Gilchrist)

He thought he was quite good to Murali, and if Murali was in my 1st team I think I would bring Sanga along with him.
The question was about de Villiers though.... But yeah, I also feel that having either of Gilchrist or Sanga in your team isn't really different; Gilchrist is a bit better keep and more suited to bat down the order imo.

If we are talking about de Villiers; might as well include Walcott and Flower in the discussion....
From everything I've read Walcott was a more than decent keeper and especially good to spin. Don't know how he would have held up to subsequent quartet attacks. Dujon was made to keep for that attack.

No doubt there, but I believe keeping to spin is tougher than pace; so I believe he will do just fine.
