Watling for me. Prior has a good shout too.

If it was ODIs, Dhoni without doubt, but as a test keeper I've never rated him, and the stats bear that out - average of 36 as a keeper this decade, and fewer dismissals per innings than any of the other contenders.

Hmmm. Can't seem to edit my vote. I put down Prior initially then changed my mind to Watling.

Can you take that into account doc?

McCullum? ABDV? Better known as straight batters now but did keep in the teens. I'm going BJ, but Matt Prior runs him close.

BJ has the most dismissals among keepers (as well as scoring the most runs). Most stumpings are by Sarfaraz.

Wonder how many wickets Prior cost for Swann. Excellent bat though.

hard this one. been a while since the world has seen a stunning keeper. how good a keeper was seems to be determined by the runs they scored, these days
