In an era where we see the likes of Dhoni and Kamran Akmal behind the stumps Read stands out by having good hands rather than a pair of symbols.
So you are saying he gets high praise due to the deficiencies of his counterparts.

I'm not denigrating Read. I agree is a good wicketkeeper. But an outstanding candidate for England #7?

No! Try harder to convince me of that.

The guys is 28, he should not be being taught how to be a batsman who can function at #7. He should be there already.

You guys are sounding more West Indian by the day
