A part time keeper is on for t20s

A part time keeper in any international game isnt worth taking a risk unless teams have dearth of it. 

Drop warner, Abdv,pollard, russell or any t20 player even if 3 overs are left ....good luck to you

 

One crucial stumping one crucial drop under pressure thats all it takes to be a winner or on loossing side

Some may scream that madness .

 

well average number of deliveries that go past the bat in t20 game is ...8 to 10 balls . That’s all ! 

 

Bailey kept in t20 for Aussie v paks . 5 balls went past bat in that match to him !!! Only one in first 15 overs . Easy !

 

food for thought 

Depends from team to team, and bowling combinations. If a team is playing a lot of spinners, then I won't play part time keeper as spinners are hard to keep which even regular keepers struggle. If team has all pace attack with just a spinner like say Mitchell Santner, then I would go on and take my chance to have a part time keeper.

 

If you are referring to Indian keepers playing instead of Dhoni in t20s, then I would say yes, I would play Pant, or Kishan or Rahul as keeper, but remind you they are more than just part-time keepers as they all can keep. Rahul is borderline part time now but he is still decent keeper.

Australia will host in 2020,its their turn.

That's good we smashed them 3 - 0. AUS is good for us in General when it gets to T20Is. I am afraid of WI hacks though. No one can compete with those WI hacks on pattas in small grounds like wankade and chinnaswamy. Even Edges fly to sixes.... Since grounds are bigger in Aus I fancy our chances. Long way to go anyway.. 3 years early. :p:

3-0 2 years ago doesn't do anything. Its like saying we beat Australia in 2003 in Adelaide so will always beat Australia in Adelaide. 

 

Twenty20 could be one of the the easiest and toughest format at the same time. Few overs change the game. We have seen a lot of times now. No one is favorite unless you are West Indies.

I completely disagree with op, you need a specialist WK in t20s too considering the amount of hacks ,t20 produces more outside/inside edges then any other format sometimes edgs fly over, an athletic keeper will only help, keeping against spinners is important too a crucial miss-mstumping or a drop catch can change the match.

My point is not to bring in a complete non keeper like Rohit Sharma 

 

but a ok part time keepe who will strengthen batting like sampson or kl Raul as often in t20 they take only 8 balls in whole innings 

 

ok t20 in India with wrist spinners maybe no . But flat non turning tracks in oz and sa, why not ?

Samson is not a parttime keeper. He is a specialist keeper for his Ranji team. He may  not keep all the time for his team but cannot call him partimer. likes Kedar Jadhav, Ryudu, Rahul are/were parttime keepers.

Nahin year, dhoni's got a really high average past 2 years, nearly higher than his top score...how can we drop? He's clearly in phenomenal touch

You are absolutely correct. Dhoni is the bhestest. He can stretch soooooo much more than others. How could anyone question his spot. I am sorry I made a mistake. I hope mods dont revoke my privilige and delete my posts.
