WK who managed to adjust to every format he played?

[Silver Line]

Gonna be taking the top WK from each nation, we know who the best wk or runner up for every format individually is. But who was the someone who adjusted to every format condition he was exposed to without the loss of his quality in Batting and glovekeeping?

Can't look past Gilly. The question should have been on who is the best after Gilly across formats.

youre right, that would be a much better poll to have, how do i remove him as an option

MS Dhoni he was street smart and very pragmatic, adjusted to be a masterful chaser and stumping king in white ball cricket while also juggling captaincy ..
Helped India to No.1 in all three formats while also winning ODI , T20 and Champions Trophies ..


Adam Gilchrist only played like 15 T20 matches so he shouldn't count as much as Dhoni cause T20 is a different beast to ODI otherwise I'd have voted for him , but if Dhoni is not the best keeper of the 3 format era , he's definitely the most accomplished.

Not sure you can hold Gilchrist only playing about a dozen or so international T20s against him when there is another option on the list (Andy Flower) who played none at all

Although tbf Flower was pretty good for Essex in the early days of the English county T20 domestic tournament

Well he shouldn't be in this list aswell , have no idea why the OP did not consider Brendan Taylor and add Mushfiqur Rahim to the list in place of De Villiers, AB was more of a part time wicketkeeper really , QDK and Boucher played more as keeper during his time.

All the above

I will need stats from indoor cricket, French cricket, beach cricket, Hong Kong 6s, T10s, backyard cricket, gully cricket etc. in order to make an informed decision.

Not real cricket compared to French cricket.

Actually meant to include it - thought I had

Gilly is the 3rd absolute lock for an AT Test XI after Bradman and Sobers. If you apply a modern era only caveat, Gilly is 1st on the team sheet.

Cricinfo actually counts it as a T20 competition.

Makes sense I suppose if Pro40 games counted as List A.
