keepers

Actually Gilly's keeping for mine has never quite impressed me. The best "keepers" i've seen are Christopher Read and Jim Foster in recent times...Overall, probably Rod Marsh

Racheal has made a good point and i agree. Athleticism does not neccesarily equate to good keeping. Rod Marsh was spectacular but his diving around was mainly due to a lack of footwork (Hard against Thommo i know but still). Also, he was never proven against spin. In my opinion, Healy was the best technician. Would take Gilly over Healy though, purely for his batting

Yeah for sure. But Heals was a much better keeper!! As england take GO Jones over C Read

ps this was the one i owed to the queenslanders.

Good on you. Makes us even again(for the time being)

Best keeper i have seen is Darren Berry from Victoria, who unluckily enough never played tests. due to a selection policy of not picking the best gloveman but the best batsman/keeper. Obviously this is uinversal round the world these days. My dad raved about Don Tallon Aust & Qld, who played just after the second world war.
