Andy Flower vs Adam Gilchrist

[Prince EWS]

There is proof for Knott can’t bat
There is proof for Sanga wasn’t a great bat as a WK
There is proof that AB kept for only 25/113 matches
Zero proof Flower can’t keep

Zero proof Chappell can't keep either, let's have him do it.

At least it’d make sure he didn’t return to the commentary box.

Knott can't bat but can keep, Sanga can't perfect both at once, AB didn't keep for 85% of his career, Flower can't keep but can bat.

Gilly's really the only one who can do everything.

Think Knott's keeping is a little underrated here.

Really poor take tbh.

Knott could bat.

And everyone who watched Flower knew he wasn't world class.

There's plenty of proof.

 

[kyear2]

Ask those who have seen him keep.


Don't you think he should've been rated much, much higher if he were a great keeper, as he is a better batter than Gilly?

Exactly.
