Who will be the neatest and bestest wicket keeper this WC

Please post your wicket keeper by keeping the smartest, quickest and neatest (fair decision) maker

 

[AngryPixel]

Haddin maybe... Saw him taking a blinder in today's match against England.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

I feel Sangakkara, he has habit to drop crucial ones but I think he could do a great job.But he is not the fairest. He cheats a lot these days

 

[Papa_Smurf]

It's obviously going to be Kamran Akmal

 

[jot15]

It's obviously going to be Kamran Akmal

it's going to be dhoni or parthiv patel

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Bestest. Lol.


Best keeper of the WC, excluding batting ability...probs MSD or Sanga/Prassan Jayawardene

 

[Chewie]

Keep the faith. I don't think we'll do as bad as people are suggesting anyway.

I agree, we always do seem to get to the semi-final, and I think the team has new found confidence with the changes in coaching staff - John Wright and Alan Donald will have a big influence and raise expectations for the team. It also helps that we've settled on a first XI (basically). The only problems are that they haven't played enough together (due to the rotation policy at the moment) and we don't have anyone else to bowl at the death with Southee.

The only problems are that they haven't played enough together (due to the rotation policy at the moment) and we don't have anyone else to bowl at the death with Southee.

And even them half the time Southee goes the distance.

Even if it wasn't Tendulkar, i would have reacted same way. Death is not something to joke about dude. I don't think you are matured enough to understand that.

P.S: If he was god then there would be nothing to worry about. He cant die then

Good one. "God" and all has nothing to do with it. You cant joke around wanting someone to die. No matter from which side of the world, a person's death hurts their close ones so hard emotionally and even otherwise.

I'm really hoping we do well, It's just those last two issues are quite a problem for me. I know they need to try and give all the squad a go atm, but I'm still not keen on all this chopping and changing. I just don't think we've had enough time to settle on exactly what plans we are going in with and thats why I'm pretty concerned. I am also pretty worried about the death bowling, Southee did ok but he becomes a bit predictable with those yorkers and when they go slightly wrong they can go the distance.

[HawkAussie]

It got to be Brad Haddin

 

[Biggy]

They are all the bestest.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Kamran Akmal. He is going to be the bestest, from an opposing team's point of view Of course

 

[sifter132]

Brad Haddin missed 3 stumpings in a game a couple of weeks ago. I think Prior's a better keeper than him now. Although he missed one the other day too...
