This guy was one of the reasons why we lost the tour down under in 2001. True cricket is a team game, but when you see a keeper letting go as many as 10-15 chances a begging! He especially missed some when aussies were right on the mat. Who ever has seen that series and not from Gujarat will agree with me ;)
It was so funny...Ian Healy from the commentary box started giving on-field tips to him.
Also may be this is just the past and he is much better now , but i am sure its not better than karthi ..may be as good as him...more over his height is always going to be a factor while keeping.
And agree he is good batsman, in fact my gut feel is he will retire as a batsman.
