How many other England wicket keeper contenders have scored a double hundred in the 3rd innings of a match?

Yes that one. The batting average of 25 at his age, I would say was not bad. His weakness was his keeping - which he has improved on since. I think its a bit unfair looking at what he did a couple of years back when he was out of his depth to what he's doing now....

Great photo though

Foster looks very impressive so far, although some of the Div 2 bowling attacks are not the strongest. however, he is scoring runs and presumably keeping well - i'm sure if he keeps on like this he will force himself back into the minds of the england selectors.

jefferson also looks excellent - isn't he really tall, like 6'10 or something? this would make him one of the tallest players in international cricket! taller than joel garner! i may be getting my wires crossed though.

Jefferson's 6ft 10 and a half inches tall. I saw him in the slips vs Hampshire recently standing beside Andy Flower! Very funny indeed! The difference in height between them was immense
