Ok, which camp are you in??

Nail your colours to the wall.

Be honest.

Are you in the Chris Read camp or not?

I for the record am not.

Yes. Keepers should be keepers and he is the best keeper.

Not sure tbh but if I had to make a decision - probably not

I've turned this into a poll. Because I can. So there.

Take it as Read.

Shit sandwich because he can't bat his way out of a paper bag and the concept of specialist fielders went out with the Ark.

And he talks like a nervous kitten.

And kittens can't even talk. Mostly.

Sliced bread.　I like to waｔｃｈ sharp keeping . . . and love to see　England late order batting collapses.　

Shoite sandwich.

But surely Aussies don't count in this poll?

Classic...

Read

Didn't Read put on the best display of batting for England at the MCG in their abysmal second innings?

And he's certainly a better keeper.

Judging by the comments from one of the astute judges I sat with ...Monty must have been the best bat ....He was the only one not to get the "Hey [Insert name of useless piece of pommy crap batsman] , You're Crap!" sendoff ....

England require a good keeper who can bat.

Look at Gilchrist Dohni and Boucher and get yourself one like those.

Australia has two successors to Gilchrist Haddin and Ronchi.

Surely England can teach Pietersen to keep?

Im not convinced Read is an exceptional 'keeper anyway. Tends to leave the hard half chances for first slip.

Obviously an intelligent man saying that kind of stuff. You should buy him a beer...

Just name me one good looking keeper.
So, does it really matter which one?

Dhoni's alright, isnt he? Boucher without those teeth?

With no teeth at all?
Boucher's got lovely eyes.

Saffies are not camp so we can't answer.

Read is the best keeper - beyond doubt. Sadly there is probably no room for him in an England side without a fit and in-form Flintoff.

Why would you poms want to start your tail at 7?

Is it a traditional empire thing to be 20 years behind?

Phil Mustard should be the Test keeper because when he fails, we can see all sorts of witty tabloid headlines about 'Phil not cutting the mustard' and then I will die a happy man.

Would agree Baz, but it's time to move on now ...
Reads' lost opportunity was when Feltch over-played the Jones boyyo ... and, once given a crack, he didn't capitalise with bat and I feel this affected some of his glovework.

Shame really, he is deffo the best gloveman around right now.
