Adam Gilchrist had percentage of only 11 – Rashid Latif

Latif further said that the legendary Australia National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist’s dropping percentage was 11. He added that along with Gilchrist, Proteas Mark Boucher was a very good keeper. Ex-Pakistan captain also said that the Australia National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Paine was a very good keeper in his early days.

“You can’t use my record because this particular record came into being from 2002 or 2003. We had already played by then. Adam Gilchrist had percentage of only 11, Mark Boucher was very good. Australia’s Tim Paine started well but towards the end dropped a lot of catches,” Latif said.

Rashid Latif named Ian Healy as one of the best stumpers of all-time and Quinton de Kock as the best modern-day wicketkeeper-batsman.

“If you look at the best in last 15 years, then I would say Quinton de Kock is superb, has kept in all three formats and batted at the top of the order in white ball cricket,” he added.
