Saha is one of, if not the best, pure wicketkeepers in the world right now.  Whatever he is, it isn't mediocre.  

 

And if we're using his batting ability to call Saha mediocre, well one could very well call Pant a mediocre keeper. 

 

There's no way either of them is mediocre IMO.

Batting like tailender irrespective of keeping ability is mediocre in today's times. May be not in pre-gilchrist era.

Pant's keeping was good enough during last overseas tours and he can improve. But saha cant improve his batting, its going downhill.

Saha any day of the week, and Sundays to spare.

 

He's by far the better keeper, in fact by an order of magnitude.

 

And given how the ball seems (as read on cricinfo) to be moving, I don't see Pant scoring enough over Saha to make a difference. 

 

Whereas I do see Pant dropping or missing a few, where Saha may even take a few blinders to even out the game. 

 

That's the call I'd take.

I agree.

How many catches did pant drop in australia.? I cant remember even a single one. 

Similarly he was quite good in windies. 

He holds the record for most catches taken in a single match. 

For heavens sake he is pant not kamran akmal. 

The fact that you are comparing him to Akmal shows his standards in first place. Afridi once holds fastest 100 record. Does that mean he is a best batsmen ? lol  That record doesn't mean anything other than full credits to the bowlers.

Pant was amazing in the overseas tours, particularly against pace. He took some amazing impossible takes during that time. I love how team management has convinced gullible people he is a poor keeper just because his confidence has dropped. Mission accomplished I guess

I'm not saying Pant's a poor keeper, just that Saha is far better based on what we can see as recent form.  

 

Pant's confidence is something that ultimately only Pant can handle.  My comparison isn't based on whatever TM thinks of him.  It's what I have seen.

Yes Saha is maybe our best all time keeper. Yet we preferred MSD over him in tests. In SENA we need the extra batting help, particularly because they often prefer to play with 5 bowlers
