MK Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 As a Surrey member (posh boy i know), i really dont like the idea of Pope being a back-up keeper. Just because he can keep doesn't mean he should be given the gloves in a Test match. Not too keen on Buttler keeping to be honest, he's only been given the gloves to justify him in the squad when his batting fails. I dont understand this modern mentality that a keeper has to have a high batting average to justify their place in the squad. A world-class keeper contributes runs by reducing the opponent's total. Get Foakes in. How is the best WK in England not being picked to keep for his country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as he also has a higher test batting average than both Bairstow & Buttler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large enough sample size for Bairstow & Buttler though with their mid-30's and their average wicket-keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
