Too late to wicket keep?

it's not ideal but I can't imagine it being too late - you frequently hear stories of someone taking up a new discipline relatively late in their cricketing development and taking to it in fine style

I think i heard the story that Panesar didn't take up spin bowling till he was 16 or 17 so no its not to late to change what you do, it will require a lot of off season work though to get you up to a high standard.

Originally posted by benkola13 Ashley Giles bowled fast until he was 16. Then he started to bowl spin, and he played for England.

Yeh I know of a guy who is also 15 who switched to keeping. He was actually a really good pacer, but it turns out that he keeps reaaly well also. As long as you can bat, go for it.

Johan Botha was a medium pacer, now he's the South African ODI captain!
This is very much true, we certainly have seen some players transform a lot.
Stephen Waugh kept his place in the side as a guy who could bowl 10 overs in an ODI, but as he grew more confident with the bat he didn't need to bowl anymore. Kumar Sangakkara gave up the gloves in tests and his batting improved dramatically. Lance Klusener changed from a genuinely fast bowler to a guy who batted in the top 7 and bowled 1st change as a fast "spinner" with his fast off/leg cutters. Jimmy Maher was an opening bat his whole career but at the demand of selectors for a place in the Aussie side he pretty much worked on his keeping and became the secondary keeper for Australia for sometime, playing in the WC of 03. Tim Zoeher was a keeper for Aust/WA who could bowl legspin, and would sometimes take the gloves off and bowl!

Hopefully your season keeping wicket went well, let us know.
