Who is the best - Boucher vs McCullum vs Sangakkara vs Gilly? What did Michael Holding want from a keeper? Alex Stewart talks about the change in role of the modern keeper. Discussion moderated by former Kiwi keeper, Ian Smith. May 2008.
Hard to agree with Stewart's view that Boucher is the best wicky/bat around in world cricket. As a package (bat + keeping), both Sanga and Dhoni are def. better..and more valuable to their team.

Liked Holdings comments on what he wanted from a keeper. Stewart is useless and seems to hung up on the past and probably some bias.

I agree with Michael Holding that the keepers role is to take the catches and make the stumpings (95% of the time), I agree with Alec Stewart that the best keeper is Mark Boucher, both as a package the best is Dhoni, but give Brad Haddin another 12 mths and he will show the cricket world, he is as a good batsmen as Gilchrist

Andrew, not sure if Haddin has got the temperement yet. In recent tests, he seems to only bat in 4th gear and got himself out on too many occassions.
