No votes for some time, so the tally is clear:

Tallon 1
Lindasay 1
Dujon 1
Boucher 1
Enginer 3
Marsh 1

I believe we can declare Engineer the next name on our list.


The List
1. Adam Gilchrist
2. Alan Knott
3. BJ Watling
4. Les Ames
5. Ian Healy
6. John Waite
7. MS Dhoni
8. Farokh Engineer

It's tricky balancing keeping skills and batting ability when voting but we are now open for the 9th spot.

I don't think we need to compare every keeper to Gilchrist. That is like comparing every batsman to Bradman. Andy Flower while not being exceptional was a very dependable keeper. I have seen his keeping most of his career and haven't ever seen him as a poor keeper or anything.
