I always felt that Mongia was the best keeper through the 90s when it came to keeping versus spinners.......since the team has two spinners of the highest quality, i went for mongia over healey.

Really? That's interesting. I never saw much of Mongia, but Healy and Warne was easily the best keeper-spinner combination I have ever seen, and Healy stands alongside Russell and Knott as the best pure keepers I have ever had the pleasure to watch.

mmmm.
Knott was a keeper of the highest callibre but he wasnt quiete 'absolute cream of the crop' in terms of keeping.

Jack Russell
Jackie Hendrix
Bob Taylor
Wally Grout
Wasim Bari

they were probably the top 5 keepers even when pure keeping skills are concerned.
Yes, Healey and Warne formed a formidable duo but i think Mongia was better keeping to spinners than Healey was. Particularly to offies or slow left arm orthodox ones like Raju.

whta are the reasons for u to disagree that Vaas is one of the best fast bowlers after 1995?
I think he's the best LFM after Akram.

Som't'ing a little different

Lefties

Marcus Trescothick
Andrew Strauss
Mark Butcher
Nick Knight
Graham Thorpe
Jim Troughton
Jack Russell+
Gavin Hamilton
Ashley Giles
Chris Schofield
Alan Mullally

Righties

Michael Vaughan
Michael Atherton
Nasser Hussain
Kevin Pietersen
Ian Bell
Andrew Flintoff
Alec Stewart+
Darren Gough
Matthew Hoggard
Andrew Caddick

I'm aware that Hamilton bowls Right-Handed, but you try and find a better England Leftie Seamer!

My Prediction: 2-0 Righties in 3 Tests
3-0 Righties in 3 ODIs
