Sanjjeev Samyal speaks to Darren Berry, one-time understudy to Ian Healy, who is upset at the quality of wicketkeepers today. He says:
The name of the game is sacrifice glovemen for better batsmen — Andy Flower, [Adam] Gilchrist and Geraint Jones, who is terrible, — which is disappointing. Keeping has become a secondary option. Now, the selectors look at how many runs he can score.
Berry's advice to selectors everywhere:
Pick the best wicketkeeper and the best people to ask would be Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, because those are the guys who are going to suffer.
