Hard to get better than sangakarra. The recent 200 n.o. shows that.

As a batsman a can't agree with you more. As a keeper possible and there are one or two youngsters who are sublime with their gloves. Kaushal Silva is one of them, aged 20, and thought as the successor of Kumar. Better keeper than Kumar and reasonably good swashbuckling batsman.

Right.
Sri Lanka have got it just right. Kumar in side for batting and back-up for Prassana as a keeper. BUT I still think that Kumar is the best keeper-batsman in the world, and Boucher is the best glovesman.

Boucher has never stood to a class slow bowler and never to a
talented leg spinner . Healy and Gilchrist both performed brilliantly
when standing up to Warne. Sangakarra has done a good job with Murali ,
but in my opinion the Australians were/are tidier behind the pegs.

Local expertise agrees that in recent past Kalu was the best SL gloveman, and in entire SL cricket history that place goes to Mahesh Goonathilaka. He was compared with Alan Knott those days because of the similarities in their speed to the ball that both of them were seldom seen diving for catches. Sanga comes in the modern breed of Wicket Keeper batsman category, a trend started by ones like Parore, Brendon Kuruppu, Hashan Tillakaratne, Moin Khan, Ian Healy, Rod Marsh, Dujon etc and perfected by the trio of Gilly, Sanga and Andy Flower. |

I would say the best wicketkeeper batsman is -Adam Gilchrist!Without any doubt he is the best!
This is how I would rank wicket-keeper batsmen 1-8 descending order.

You got to be kidding, Karthik is much better than a few mentioned above him.

Still another mistake, he is better than Dhoni! Dhoni will just shine on the tracks that allows slogging. He has been to the caribbean twice and hasn't done well. I think it will be the same story when he goes to Aussie and NZ!

McCullum would go third on that list- putting him 6th is shameful and naive.

In terms of batting yes, your right. If this were purely a keeping thread I'd have McCullum in 2nd spot just behind Gilchrist at this point in his career.

I see you have forgotten someone by the name of Sangakkara then.

My rankings would be:
1. Adam Gilchrist [AUS]
2. Kumar Sangarkara [SL] 3. Brendon McCullum [NZL] 4. Mark Boucher [SA] 5. Dinesh Karthik [IND]
6. MS Dhoni [IND]
7. Kamran Akmal [PAK] M Prior [ENG]
I've got Karthik ahead of Dhoni because from what I've seen of them I think Karthik is better behind the stumps.
Kamran Akmal is so far down because I've not seen as much of him as the others but from what I've seen he can be a little shaky behind (and in front) of the pegs.
I'm going to wait a little while longer before I place Prior. From what I've seen so far though I expect good things but I said the same about a few others. Edited by The Tyke - 25 July 2007 at 10:21pm |

Ok right, McCullum is literally like a cat behind the stumps! His ability to catch the ball at all flights is amazing, plus he has the ability to smash the ball when needed. I dont think Gilly should be no.1 at the moment, that spot should go to Sangakkara. But, thank god tyke has given justice to McCullum!
Guys we forgot Paul Nixon!! Edited by samhache - 26 July 2007 at 3:48am |

Nixon's not really in the mix any longer Sam. I've a
feeling that if Prior was injured one of Foster , Davies or Read would
get a go. Nixon did really well when called upon , but time is against
him and it would be a retrograde step to bring him back.

Avereged well over 40 in his last series against poms, including a dashing century.
Compare his numbers, Sangakarra is the only one even close out of the modern keepers.
