zuhair , Nixon might sound like a top keeper , but he wasn't
close to being a Healy. I'd rate Healy right up there with Knott
- both brilliant either standing back or standing up , they made so few
errors.

Nobody said healy wasnt good or something. he was very good. but there certainly were better ones around. russell, latif and even Paul nixon were fabolous behind the wickets

Certainly half of hussey. But quite similar to MArk Waugh. He was a treat to watch is what i have always referrd to. I just loved his cover driving and elegance

he was made to look good by those around him- NZ made him look average with a bit of thinking. He's half the batsman Mark Waugh and Hussey are.

hard to say with Dujon really since he didn't have many opportunities to show if he was much good standing up at the stumps

I have seen better keepers than healy. Dujon was one, Latif and Russell are two more

I think Ian Healy was the best keeper, but Gilly is the best keeper batsman.

Im pretty sure he isn't currently playing, abbasi.
But, if you mean in the history of cricket then I might have to concur.

I dont think we can any longer mark him as a wicket keeper batsman as he doesnt keep wickets no more. If we exclude him, i find Andy Flower the best

People do see him for what he truly is, I havent heard of anyone who has openly criticised Sangakkara. |

I hope people will now start to consider him a great as his average and recent feats suggest such labelling.

Sangakarra and Gilchrist are entirely different batsman, so it's hard to compare- depending on the make-up of my team, depends on who I'd choose; for example, he fits perfectly into the Australian set-up. |

The decision to bring in Jayawardene and allow Sangakarra to play
solely as a batsman was well thought out and those impressive stats
confirm it.

He wasn't wicket keeper in that match so it isn't a valid example. It is worth noting that Sanga's overall average is inflated by the fact that he has played 20 Tests where he hasn't kept, and in those his average (an extremely impressive) 92, compared to 42 when he has the gloves on. |

I would still say Sangakarra in all time. Much better technique and with him, SL look a whole different team. Look at the difference he made in second test.
But I will talk only in stats with you and only tests stats: Sangakarra Average: 55.74 100's: 15 Gilly Avg: 49.27 100's: 17 Sanga is still 6 yrs younger. Plus Gilly comes way down the order when Australia most of the times are in strong position. |

All-time:Gilly
Current: If Sanga still kept it would be him but since he dosen't Dhoni. |
