Yep, to stir up some debate, he's the best Wicket keeper/batsman around. Dhoni or Haddin will take best batsman/wicket keeper.

Haddin can bat quite well, he gets a lot of starts, but doesn't always get on with it. He can also bat anywhere in ODIs. I think though Dhoni is more of a matchwinner, however he hasn't got a test ton in a long while which is surprising to me. I think he only has 1 from memory. With the gloves, Haddin has disappointed me at times, but he has also done some good things. Dhoni isn't too flash, but I think at the moment he's showing better skills than Haddin.
Boucher at his best would probably be the best of the lot, but he hasn't done a lot of late with the bat and he has been disappointing. |

Dhoni keeps on impressing me as time goes by. Started as a dangerous hitter but is playing more and more sensible as time goes by. Comes in at all positions and does the job. Some people react differently to captaincy but it really changed Dhoni for the best!

Dead right Lalinda. Sanga is one of the best batsman in the world as a result. It was a good move.

Sanga is wonderful as captain, batsmen or keeper. Hes not keeping now? great for cricket I think. And dont those sri lankan batsmen score huge centuries? I like Haddin as a batsmen/keeper though. Not the greatest glovemen but his batting is worth watching.
