I am not convinced as yet. My thoughts are now turning to Jangoo, who can keep as well

Jangoo looks better

The guy just got back in.

Let him at least finish this test or series before staring that debate.

@embsallie

Agreed! Let him get the entire home series vs Pak too.

Surely he'll get the time. I am quietly hoping he comes good. But the optics don't inspire me

I am also factoring in his glovework

@InHindsight

Well if he cannot keep wicket and he does not put runs on the board as a batsman, then he will eventually find himself on the discard heap, just like Athanaze.

Athanaze is good on the eye but he cannot say he did not get chances to come good.

@embsallie

Agreed. I think that Silva is mature enough to realise that and hope that he can put some runs on the board during the series. He can console himself that his 20 is better than Imlach has scored in tests generally but the keeping errors he needs to correct. immediately

@embsallie

Athanaze is only 27 there's still time for him to develop. Needs big runs at regionals.
