Star Cricketers

FIRST: Mark Boucher with 475 dismissals, an average of 0.95, 4,693 runs and an average run of 29.89. Boucher is known for his swiftness with the gloves and is also a very good batsman. As a result he has always been a very good all round support for South Africa.

SECOND: Gilchrist with 416 dismissals, an average of 0.86, 5,570 runs and a runs average of 47.61. A lot of Australian cricket victories are due to untiring efforts of Gilchrist.

THIRD: Brilliant wicket keeper, batsman on the list is, Alec Stewart with 277 dismissals, an average of 0.67, 8,463 runs and a runs average of 39.55. Alec Stewart is from England side.

FOURTH: Another Aussie player to break all the records, Ian Healy with 395 dismissals and an average of 1.03, 4,356 runs and a runs average of 27.4.

FIFTH: But not the least, Rodney Marsh with 355 dismissals, an average of 1.3, with 3,633 runs and a runs average of 26.52.

Of course, like any player, the wicket-keeper must be a good batsman too. And it is very often a tough choice between two keepers, with one being the better batsman, and the other being the better keeper.
