These things go in cycles. At some point somebody will realise that those 10 or 15 runs extra your "keeper" scores are nothing compared to the chances he misses and byes he concedes. Take a look at the Perth Test: Jones missed Hussey and Clarke allowing them to score an additional 180 (odd) runs and set up the platform for Gilchrist's pyrotechnics. A better gloveman would probably have stopped all that madness before it happened. All for wanting the better batsman!

Gilchrist has turned the game silly. Ian Haely was superb but wouldn't get into your side if he came around again as his batting wasn't as good as you're suggesting it needs to be. Gilchrist is a once in a lifetime player, a freak. The sooner everyone realises that competing with him is futile the better. Even the Aussie commentatorts realise that.
