Ian Healy vs Rod Marsh

Who is the better keeper?

I tend to think Healy slightly, but that might be biased because he kept to Warne and Marsh didn’t really keep to many good spinners

Read somewhere that Marsh was known as butter fingers or something.

Iron gloves, I believe when he first started. He greatly improved though and quickly. I take the point above about Marsh not keeping to great spin.

Iron Gloves.

He improved a lot though. Still Healy for my quid, insufferable cock he may be.

Also I had somehow blanked from my memory that Marsh died last year - rip.

Iron Gloves was his nickname as he was out and out terrible when he started.

From my understanding he did get a lot better. While Marsh might've been the better bat (at least technically, their stats are very similar), it's hard to look past Healy's keeping.

I was close enough.
