The modern wicketkeeper needs to be more than capable with the bat, and West Indies and Pakistan have had some success with them recently.

"Another team which struggled to get runs from their wicketkeeper - till fairly recently - was West Indies. Ramdin has been around in international cricket for almost a decade now, but after a promising start, there was a long period when his batting had faded badly. In his first 42 Tests, Ramdin's Test average was 22.80, quite poor by today's standards, and it wasn't a surprise when he was replaced by Carlton Baugh." writes J Rajesh in an ESPNcricinfo article

In his last 17 Tests, Ramdin has averaged 42.36; in 27 innings during this period, he has scored three hundreds


His average of 42.36 is third among wicketkeepers who've batted at least 15 innings during this period


However, what's brought the focus upon Ramdin more recently are his ODI exploits: in his last four innings - one against England, three against Bangladesh - Ramdin has scores of 128, 74, 34, 169. That's 405 runs at an average of 101.25, and 34% of the runs he scored in his first 80 ODI innings. Before these four innings, Ramdin averaged 19.88 in 80 ODI innings; after 84, his career average has gone up to 24.96, an increase of five runs in just four games.



Well look thing....
