There is a whole system I would put in place to rate catches and fielders. It would be similar to the Statcast ratings from the MLB. There is a lot of factors that go into fielding that most either don’t consider or don’t know about

The ball touched the grass. He used it ball on the ground to control himself. If that was the Ashes it would be no catch 😛

WATCH: The utter BLINDER that Howie instantly labelled 'catch of the summer'

Could any of them open the batting?

'Bazbulls--t': Cricket bible slammed as Test team of the year features zero Aussies, FIVE Poms

Yes, you are correct, my phone is having real issues with this site lately. But in my defence, where I come from it has very little profile.

All those accounts came from NSW and Vic. Neither were as good as Heals.

No probs, just getting on it now. Get back to in, say 40 years

Their podcast on YouTube is hilariously silly with this sort of stuff

The Poms never stop being funny with their elitism.

Carey’s caused was helped that he was an ALF player, his return from the ALF ranks was seen as a win in the war over young athletes. Not saying that is why he got picked but it was a help for him. Jimmy was never in the picture until later in life.

He missed a stumping.

Haddin was legit all time going to his right.

No there isn’t a lot.

Pant is a horrible keeper. He is terrible to watch with the gloves. I would put Carey above him. He really looks like an unathletic batsmen who was just thrown the gloves before the game because there was no one else at times. But I think he missed less chances than Carey.

Nah, an actual stumping

Number of dismissals is the most useless stat in cricket. Tells you nothing of the quality of the keeper.

Thing with Heals is he kept to prime Warnie, before the shoulder and finger injuries reduced the amount of turn he got regularly. Gilly still had to keep to an all time great bowler but it was a different challenge.

Siddle used to regularly get over 145kph. Maybe is all come together one last time, maybe.

McCullum unveils blueprint for Bazball pace aces to be firing for Ashes in bid to ‘blow Aussies away’

Neither of those two are close to the best keeper of all time. They were the best batsmen/keepers but their glove work is not the best of all time.

Swap Brimson to fullback, Kini to the bench, promote Sami to the centres drop Kelly and find another centre

Wow, mid 80 mph. That will have us shaking in our boots.

This article 😂 😂 😂

What is with the sudden push to ignore all the drops, missed stumpings, too many byes and lack of footwork to and actually compare him to actual greats with the gloves. Some serious efforts to rewrite history. I guess this journo is big fan

Carey sits above Wade and Phillips to me when judging glove work of Aus keepers since the 80s. He is worse than a lot of State keepers I have seen in that time

Nope, not correct, Smith was seen as a bowling all rounder. Maxi was seen as a white batting all-rounder at best

Will Australia have the Galle to play just one fast bowler in Sri Lanka - Starc or Boland for solitary role?

Why can’t we go with two quicks, two full time spinners,

I am sure we will unless they feel like it will turn from day one.

So Abbott it is!!

Yes but they were seen as spinners, Connolly is not
