What happens if...?

[Join The Bandwagon]

a wicket keeper gets injured during a game and can not continue? Who wicket keeps?

 

[roopy]

not a substitute - unless the other captain agrees, and he won't.
it has to be one of the originally named 11

 

[dice]

The umpire

 

[mattyg]

:lol: Probaby the best fieldsman in the team i'd say. If Gilly went down i think maybe Ponting might take the gloves?

 

[NPK]

hmm..who in the current test and ODI teams have kept wicket before?

 

[Marshall_magic]

The only country who would handle that situation with ease is South Africa, they got Boucher and De Villiers. the rest of the countries would struggle, although I would think someone like Hussey, Clarke or Ponting could do an adequate job keeping

 

[Timbo]

Justin Langer would, I imagine.

Not many of you would remember this odd little cricketing footnote, but JL began his career as a keeper, and even went on an ODI tour of Sri Lanka as the sole wicket keeper in the Aussie squad.

 

[lockyno1]

Langer is our reserve keeper, Timbo is 100% right.

Actually - hasn't Punter slipped the gloves on before?

 

[pogo]

judging by his bourbon and beef exploits, he should refrain from donning the gloves.,

happen in the last test nz vs sri lanka. matthew sinclair filled in.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

langer has been reserve wk before....but now hussey is in the side i'd imagine it would be him

last week the nz keeper mcullum got injured from malinga so matt sinclair kept and then in the same game the sri lankan keeper get a ball on the wrist while batting luckily they had a replacement called sangakarra

india have had dravid keep in ODI before

 

[NPK]

Not really relevant, but David Boon used to be a backup keeper if I remember correctly.

 

[Tom Shines]

Warne once kept without gloves, while Healy had the gloves at second slip against Zimbabwe.
It was in someone's bio... maybe Heals...

 

[Twizzle]

to answer the question, anyone is allowed to keep

I love questions like that, sometimes they might get one of the other 11 to act as wickey and use a substitute fielder, but as wickey is a fielding position I guess they can put a substitute there

 

[MKEB...]

Sinclair has kept for CD at times

 

[hineyrulz]

SRI LANKA could just get sangakara to do it, he would be a bad replacement.

 

[Sanchez]

langer or hayden

as long as they are part of the original 11!
