Sangakkara shouldn't even be talked of as a wicket-keeper: he's a batsman. Even Cricinfo notes "During the early days his wicketkeeping could be ragged at times" and that's flattering him: he was considerably worse than "iron hands" Boucher at the start and (like the South African) ain't EVER going to be great for the simple reason that he's not a natural.
