Who is better in new wicket keepers Taufeeq Umer or Kamran Akmal?
Even though we have not see full time keeping by both Taufeeq and Kamran but to whatever extent they have kept, who in your opinion is better?

Also, if we were to count batting skills, who seems to be better in combination?

Taufeeq is not a genuine keeper, he is a make-shift one.
Kamran is a genuine keeper who can bat.
Whereas TAufeeq is in Dravid-mould who can keep wickets in odis.. etc..

I thot Taufeeq is better, but I haven't watched both of them. Reading commentaries and articles gives me impression that Taufeeq drops less catches.

Kamran dropped a sitter today, the only mitigating circumstances being that it was an inside edge. It was still pretty straightforward though. Taufeeq isn't a specialist w/keeper but he's a much better bat.

I dont think we can judge Kamran so early on. Last time when he kept wickets he was impressive. Even Rashid dropped a sitter in the last match of Natwest series which eventually cost us the match but that does not mean Rashid is bad keeper. I thgink another good choice for wicket keeper would be Humayun Farhat older brother of the attacking left hand opener Imran Farhat.

^^ Kamran Akmal's dropped catch was much easier than that of Rashid and was too against Umer gul who is much lesser in pace than shoaib but Still i would go for him rather than Humayun Farhat coz Farhat is very weak against spinners.

i prefer humayun farhat coz he is a better batsman than kamran akmal judging by domestic records and he can stay till the next worldcup. i'm not saying that kamran is bad or whatever but just that humayun is better
