The best of these 90s keeper-bats - Jacobs, Parore, Mongia, Moin

[mr_mister]

Take their keeping and batting into account

 

[harsh.ag]

Parore for tests. Loved his compactness.

Moin for ODIs.

 

[Grumpy]

"When some big Kiwi prick, gets a 4 from a snick, that's Parore. When the whole team says "****, what about this bloke's luck" that's Parore."

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Jacobs for me, scored an awful lot of valuable runs in his time in the side. Seemed to score when they needed it most too.

 

[Starfighter]

Courtney Browne.

Parore the best gloveman of these IMO. Maybe Jacobs the best bat? Tough call.

 

[fredfertang]

Ridley Jacobs is the only wicketkeeper I can ever recall not appealing for what was clearly a clean catch from a big outside edge - no other bugger on the West Indies team appealed either so the batter just carried on - rather frustrated I can't remember who it was now

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jacobs- almost Klusner-like batting stance.

He was there with Lara when he recorded 400*

 

[harsh.ag]

People really think Jacob's superior batting adequately made up for Parore's superior keeping?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Parore's a massive **** so no one wants to vote for him

This is true.

 

[Tec15]

Parore's superior keeping? If anything I think Jacobs was better there, even if there's not much between the four of them as overall packages. Jacobs shades it as the best of a mediocre lot.

 

[NUFAN]

I must have missed the Jacobs being good memo. Moin Khan was the best to me, followed by Parore and then Jacobs.

Jacobs played a few damn good lone wolf knocks against an Amazing Australian bowling attack

49* out of like 100 against Australia at the 1999 WC

96* out of like 200 against Australia at the WACA in 2000 in a test. West Indies had been romped in the first test for 80 and 120 and were like 5 for 20 in the second when Jacobs played a very impressive knock, even if it was ultimately futile

His fifty in the first innings of the Lara 153 game was great too. Him and Sherwin Campbell had one of the all time great forgotten partnerships.

Yeah I remember this. Solid innings.

 

[Tec15]

Plus, he took a record 7 catches in an innings once. Parore never came close to doing so.

 

[Second Spitter]

Big gulf between Jacobs' FC and Test averages is unexpected.

 

[SeamUp]

Parore for tests. Loved his compactness.

Moin for ODIs.

This for me too.

Although Ridley Jacobs was probably the best over both formats as a package.

Such an odd question put but such a tough but interesting selection. Anybody could choose anybody as their pick.

 

[oblongballs]

Moin Khan as the complete keeper/bat of the decade, across formats. He was a hard hitting, lower order run getter in ODIs and a competent bat. On top of all that, he was, at his best, the most athletic keeper of the lot.

Jacobs is a solid second, I can see why some voted for him.

Parore comes in 3rd with Monga honestly a distant 4th.
