Message: [QUOTE="Scumbag, post: 2248902, member: 7738"] Agree. It's absolute trash. This mindset would never have been entertained if it weren't for A. Gilchrist. Just because he was a somewhat dynamic batsman AND a Wicketkeeper, CA has it in their crazy minds that every successive wicketkeeper, whether it be at at Test, ODI or TT level be able to bat highly effectively and do the glovework. Being a club wicketkeeper, it goes without saying that I can definately vouch for the notion that a Wicketkeeper is a specialist position in itself and should never be "packaged" with the ability to bat effectively as a pre-requisite for selection. I feel that a Wicketkeeper is more valuable saving runs and being tidy behind the stumps. Really setting the standard for the fielding team to aim up to and follow. That's more important than selecting a player who can't fulfil this job requirement as well, but has the added talent for wielding the willow. By the current mentality, I.H would never have got an Australian representative gig. Madness IMO. [/QUOTE]
