It all depends where in the batting order you want the 'keeper to bat: if you are looking for a pinch-hitting opener or no 6 slogger then I'd choose Boucher.. for an anchorman I'd consider Dravid, but probably choose Sangakkara (getter glovework).. and for a no 7 or 8 I'd take Chris Read for his composure under pressure and great improvsational play at the death.

Until you know how the rest of the team lines up I'm not sure you can make that judgement.
