If anything, it's South Africa who will be struggling to find 2 world class bowlers in 5 years time. They'll all be playing for England.

Well done Trev, only 3 hours to think up a retort. The minions are really speeding up.

Oh yeah, I sat here in my chair for 3 hours staring at my computer screen desperately trying to think of something to say.....

Unlike you I have a life outside of this forum.

Actually i think you did.

Aussie bashing?

Well done Bouch. You would've had more only for the folly of dropping you for a period to give AB de Villiers the gloves. And I like his sledging. That's gonna be a tough record to break.

That young Bangladeshi keeper might do it?

If it had been AB, it wouldn't have been too bad. It was Tsolikile

And has Trev been mixing sand with his testicle tinea cream?

Not to mention Tsami Tsolekile

Oops, my bad. So AB never took the gloves??

by Henry Wed 03 Oct 2007, 14:07

Nope, no one will ever break Bouchers record. Also, the world is definetly flat, and man will never, ever walk on the moon.

Not the greatest 'keeper of all time, but a wonderful servant to South African cricket who probably still has another 3-4 years left in him.

Will set records that will probably never be beaten.

He did, 2nd & 3rd Tests vs England in the 2004/5 series. Didn't do such a bad job of it either if I remember correctly.

Yes he might do it. And he might not. But to say he wont is very silly.

I say he won't

And so do I. Bouch's new record may not be as untouchable as Chuck's record will be, but it will be very hard to beat.

Well of course you do.

Farkin "yes man"

If Boucher got injured right now, Gilchrist would probably pass his record by the end of the upcoming Aussie summer.

Ramdin from the West Indies is another guy who could break it eventually.

Well the guy has 1 dismissal so far in 4 tests . . . my math is a bit dodgy but that suggests he will need to play a few tests to catch Boucher . . .

So it's settled then. Bouch is the greatest keeper...behind Grout, Knott, Evans, Healy, Bari, Gilly .....
