Top 5 wicketkeeper-batsmen of all-time

#4 Mark Boucher

There are many wicketkeepers in the world who are more skilled than Boucher but when it comes to longevity and the hunger to succeed, Mark is a class apart. He was not a gifted batsman like Sangakkara or a natural gloveman like Healy but he contributed whenever his team needed him the most and that quality sets him apart from others.

He was the ultimate team man and was capable of playing any kind of role. Particularly in test matches, he was capable of grinding out a tough spell or counter-attack when needed. His hard work resulted in a record 556 dismissals in Tests which are going to be unbreakable for a long time to come. He finished with 998 dismissals will remain the most reliable wicketkeeper to set foot on a cricketing turf.
