Dick Pilling has a 'Wisden Cricketers of the Year' award. More respect ought to be put on Dick's name

I would have him as one of the Top 3 English Keepers alongside Evans and Taylor, but he averaged 8 with the bat. Was a proper 10. I think Chris Read is quite underrated really. Was a First rate keeper and can hold his own with the bat. Should have been recalled in Tests, he performed with the bat constantly after being dropped. Definitely better than someone like Jones imho.
