Re: Wicket Keeper Batsmen
What a good idea Aejaz bhai,
I think wicket keeper batsmen have been developing since the last decade or so as a need of the ODI cricket rather than just being wicket keepers. Cricket now is demanding so much from everyplayer that teams can't afford to just have a wicket keeper who can just keep the wickets and not bat. Now, pretty much in all sides, wicket keepers are good batsmen as well. For example, Aus has Gilchrist and boy his bats flashes if you let him go at your balls. What about India's Dhoni and we saw in the series what he is capable of . Not to forget, Kamran Akmal. He came with 2 gem of centuries against England. So, my point being their hand eye co-ordination might help them keep good track of the ball but it's the demand of today's Cricket that wicket keeper are supposed to have dual functions.
