That's some record though, a wicketkeeper averaging over 40 with the bat in Test Cricket in that era where most teams had specialist wicketkeepres is prettyhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30551479/haddin-retires-from-cricket?post_id=545565227#545565227Forgotten probably not the right word, just most people won't be old enough to remember him.

Gilchrist's batting was such a high level , alot of commentators never really put too much focus on his keeping.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/30551479/haddin-retires-from-cricket?post_id=545525485#545525485I thought Gilchrist was a better keeper than Haddin.
