I'm not talking about keeper batsman, plain old wicket keeping. Watched Wade quite a bit in the last few weeks and he seems outstanding. The dives & collections he made down the leg side when Starc gets erratic, Dhoni wouldn't bother with them. He's somewhat new to the scene having made test/odi debut last year. So who in your opinion is the best keeper currently (preferably plays tests) ? Prior ? Chandimal ? Watling ? someone else ? AB wasn't the first choice keeper ever, Dhoni isn't as good & Sarfraz seems new.

Ian Healy disagrees.
"He's not happy at all. He didn't have a good summer with the gloves at all," Healy told Radio Sport National on Friday. "Even some of the basic stuff that he's not tidying up, he's not getting to the stumps, he's not taking returns well, he's not sharpening up the fielding effort. Even those basic disciplines weren't being created, let alone missed dismissals. "Nathan Lyon wouldn't have been that happy, there were four or five chances missed from his bowling. He's getting criticised for not taking wickets. These are all the little internal conflicts of an under-achieving wicketkeeper. Matthew Wade says he's still young and he wants to keep improving, but I don't think he's that young. He's 25. "If he is keeping for Australia, these sort of things have to be done, and they have to be done better. We're playing against Sri Lanka, it's not as if we're playing against South Africa or England for five Tests [where] we need everything taken. He needs to really get a look at what Brad Haddin is doing and try to find a way to get it done himself.

Has to be P.Jayawardane... And no mention of Prior?!!! He is the most sought after keeper after Gilchrist and Boucher... Great keeping and add excellent batting as well! (couldn't resist mentioning his batting!)

Yeah, I saw a few outstanding takes from him like the one below and missed his keeping up to the stumps. Its not like I announced "Matthew Wade is class!!! as the title of the thread as some retard would have done so.

You feeling alright, or cos you made a retarded spastic comment you feel the need to abuse. If you cant handle people questioning your opinions without your toys flying out of the pram, you should not be on a cricket message board.

I said he "seems" outstanding based on my limited viewing and I guess I can be wrong. Won't be the first time for either ICFer. That does not mean I have taken an oath of Wade being a wicket keeping legend. That's the territory of your kind, the disgusting big mouthed *****s who have gone about making moronic & absolute predictions and when called out, moaned about others hoping for India's loss so that you could be questioned about your predictions.
