So, yes, a specialist wkt keeping coach working with him for a few months is not a bad idea. It will be worth the investment. Surely, all other wktkeepers in the country can join the camp alongside him. So, I don't disagree with that line of thinking.

However, Rashid Latif is probably not the right candidate. I think Wasim Bari, Selim Yousuf and maybe even Moin Khan were better than Rashid Latif. Sri Lanka had a bunch quality guys as well. If we are to be sub-continet specific, as you have reasoned without explaining why, I can think of at least a few other guys who were of better quality than one Latif.

Hello Beamer Bhaiyya,

Excellent analyis of Rahim as a Batsman and Wicket keeper. It can't get better.

I also appreciate your inputs on Tiger's possible Wicket Keeping Coaches.

Cheers !
