Who was the best wicket keeper you’ve seen firsthand playing with or against?
Kimberley has two great keepers in the 90’s and 2000’s in Carl Widdowson and Martin Clark. I can’t remember them dropping more than a couple of catches.
The best gloveman I played with was Ismail Dawood at Herefordshire. His handling was so clean and he always knew what to say to the bowlers to fire them up.
