it is only happening against Bumrah and most keeper will do the same against Bumrah.

This.

He needs to practice keeping for bumrah more.

This is his 6th match and he dropped one....and took 11.

Which keeper has a 100 % record?

People have far too high standards from him  which is not fair.

He has definetely improved over the last series.

He is diving less and moving his feet more .  That is fast learning. He is willing to learn from his mistakes ( asked Gilcrist for guidance) .

 

He is not 100 % and will not be 100 % because no one is.

that i agree with you when comes to batting .. 

but his keeping is still top notch

No....he doesn't even attempt to catch the harder ones keeping for  pacers.

Pant dives for everything and hence misses. 

It is a drop only when some one tries na:p:

 

He is good keeping for spinners.

Honestly, keepers should not be allowed to chirp away until the bowler is literally milliseconds away from starting his run-up..This is not sledging - this is flat out annoying not fair sportsmanship.. I am all for unsettling the batsmen so that they focus on what is being said but there should be some limits on how excessive this can be.. If its ok for the keeper to endlessly blabber away why dont we just ask the square leg and silly point to dance routine to go along with it.. 

I think there's a longstanding unwritten rule about this already.  Keepers and fielders aren't supposed to be talking once the bowler starts his run-up.  You want umpires to start turning around and looking whether the bowler is about to start?  time them for 5 seconds before to decide whether the 'chirping' is within the rules or not?  That's just silly.
