Bairstow (England)1.818.0
Dickwella (Sri Lanka)1.632.3
Dowrich (West Indies)1.433.8
Take from that what you wish
 

Dismissals per test is an odd measure to use, without any context it's meaningless. What if de Kock has dropped 10 catches in that time but Dowrich hasn't dropped a single catch as all of the WI wickets are bowled/LBW?
 
De Kock is incredible

I prefer De Fanny if I’m honest but each to their own.

This. It’s a shite stat.

A better and more meaningful stat would be drops/missed stumpings per Test.

Buttler will probably. But he’s 3rd in line at best.

You’re not comparing the two things seriously I hope
It’s an example to show why buttler won’t be dropped. He is in the management group of the team. I keep saying it but it never sinks in
 
I think you’re being harsh, he chose not to review his dismissal on Saturday :eek:
That was surprising, but I was thinking more of the bowling reviews. I'd fully expect him to charge past the batsman towards the slips celebrating whilst making a 'T' above his head
The Pakistan keeper was excellent behind the stumps in the first test
He was, that was probably the worst thing for Buttler, the comparison was so stark. Wouldn't have looked so bad if it had still been Dowrich.
