And some took over the keeping duties in the middle of a Test and took catches as well as stumped batsmen. Others took on keeping duties for one or more Tests when the regular keeper was unavailable. There are several prominent keepers like Gilchrist, Dhoni and Knott who played all their Tests as keepers. He is just ahead of AB de Villiers at 1.046, with 121 as a fielder and 106 as a keeper. Going still further down, the highest dismissal rate by a non-keeper is 1.060 by India’s ED Solkar (53 catches at 1.060). But there is no non-keeper in the above list which goes down to a dismissal rate of 1.500. Going further down, we see NZ’s BJ Watling with 241 dismissals including 231 catches as a keeper, 10 catches as a keeper and 8 stumpings. While Tim Paine did a good job as stopgap captain of Australia, you would not expect him to be so high up.Īt #3 there is another current player in Quintun de Kock, who is likely to be SA’s next Test captain. The #2 is also not what you would expect. But you would not have guessed that the highest average is by Rishabh Pant, who is generally not considered to be India’s best keeper at the moment. Naturally, this will be headed by wicket-keepers who invariably get more catches than other fielders. These are correct as of and do not include the ICC XI Test of 2005. Here we look at the Test players with the highest dismissal rates, subject to a minimum of 20 innings fielded. There may be helicopter landing grounds in the Siachen Glacier at still higher latitudes. The northern-most airport with regular military transport flights is Daulat Beg Oldi (35.39) It is said to be 8 km south of the border with China. The northern-most airport with regular commercial flights is Leh (34.14) which is just ahead of Srinagar (33.99) This is a tie when latitudes are measured to 2 decimal places. The title of the northern-most junction is a tie between Pathankot and Bharoli which are at 32.27. Meanwhile, the northern-most station which is connected to the rest of IR’s network is SMVD Katra at 32.98 One plan included a connection to Kupwara (34.53) which should be the northern-most station in India if the line is built. It is uncertain if any further railway lines in this area will be built in the next few years. It is just ahead of the terminus at Baramula (34.22). Those familiar with the Indian Railways would know that the northern-most station is Sopore (lat 34.26 N). However, stumpings by a substitute are rare and are covered here: Details of their performance are hard to find. There are also players who were not in the playing eleven and substituted for the wicketkeeper. The case of Majid Khan’s 4 catches is particularly interesting, and deserves a separate post.īut this is not the end of the story. Sangakkara played a further 48 Tests as nominated keeper and took 124 catches and 20 stumpings, to give him a total of 202 dismissals.įrom the first two tables above, we can see that the most dismissals in a match by these keepers is 5 by Imrul Kayes, followed by 4 for several others. Similarly, Collingwood never played any Test as a nominated keeper, so his career total of catches is 96 as shown above. The highest is 133 by de Villiers followed by 96 by Collingwood with a few others in the 90s.Īlthough it is not mentioned here, de Villiers played another 24 Tests as nominated keeper and took a further 89 catches and 5 stumpings there. This also lists the total number of dismissals (as a fielder) in these Tests. The most stumpings are 2 by Tillakaratne, M Wasim and Christiani. It is better to consolidate them into a single list.Ĭonsolidated list of players who have taken at least one catch as keeper and/or one stumping in Tests where they were not nominated keepers:Īmong these 43 players, AB de Villiers has the most catches and most dismissals (12 each) followed by KC Sangakarra and TWM Latham (7 each). Similarly, these are the 15 players who have taken at least 1 stumping in their career as a non-keeper. These are not included in the above table. Some, notably de Villiers and Bairstow in recent years, have been nominated keepers in some Tests. The number of Tests here are those when they were not nominated keepers. These are all the 38 players who took at least 1 catch in their careers. Here we take up the cases where someone was not the nominated keeper in a Test, took over when the nominated keeper was unfit or unavailable and took one or more catch or stumping while doing so.Ĭatches as keeper while not nominated keeper:
