Top Five Wicket Keepers in Cricket
The World Cup is without question the final word in cricket worldwide. And like the Olympics, there are teams from all around the world. But there is more than just watching the matches. And just because one team wins or looses, individual players can have a better or worse day than their teammates. Below are the numbers for the top five wicket-keepers in tests. And some are pretty amazing.
With amazing results, five wicket-keepers in test who are among the best in the field are listed below:
1. Mark Boucher with 475 dismissals, an average of 0.95, 4,693 runs and an average run of 29.89. Boucher is known for his swiftness with the gloves and is also a very good batsman. As a result he has always been a very good all round support for South Africa.
2. Adam Gilchrist with 416 dismissals, an average of 0.86, 5,570 runs and a runs average of 47.61. A lot of Australian cricket victories are due to untiring efforts of Gilchrist.
3. Another brilliant wicket keeper, batsman on the list is, Alec Stewart with 277 dismissals, an average of 0.67, 8,463 runs and a runs average of 39.55. Alec Stewart is from England side.
4. Yet another Aussie player to break all the records, Ian Healy with 395 dismissals and an average of 1.03, 4,356 runs and a runs average of 27.4.
5. Last but not the least, Rodney Marsh with 355 dismissals, an average of 1.3, with 3,633 runs and a runs average of 26.52.
Of course, like any player, the wicket-keeper must be a good batsman too. And it is very often a tough choice between two keepers, with one being the better batsman, and the other being the better keeper.
