Death of wicketkeeping?

Immaculate with the gloves, Carey vows to keep sweeping

'Upon realising the Australians had dismissed Rohit Sharma twice in the first over of the Indore Test without reviewing either decision...

... it was to Carey’s immense credit that a few overs later he completed the difficult stumping that sent Rohit on his way ...

Carey, keeping brilliantly all series, has bruised shoulders to show for getting his body in the way to concede just three byes for the Test.
...

Training to be able to react clearly and instinctively on game day saw Carey respond perfectly to a Matt Kuhnemann delivery that turned eight degrees and bounced to the sort of height more common on an Australian pitch, fooling Rohit but not the ’keeper.

“Instinct takes over when you see a ball bounce like that,” Carey said. “I don’t think many of us were expecting an eight degree turning ball that early in the game. But it was nice to hold on to that and for us to get a bit of momentum. ...”

The current side’s relationships with past generations have not always been smooth in recent times, but Carey keeps in consistent touch with his forebears Brad Haddin, Adam Gilchrist and Ian Healy. He also has a longstanding relationship with South Australia’s high-performance chief and former stumper Tim Nielsen.'

McGlashan:

'Carey's stumping of Rohit in the sixth over, Matt Kuhnemann's first wicket of the match, was picked out as a key moment by head coach Andrew McDonald who lauded Carey's glovework on a tough pitch for wicketkeeping.
...

Carey was exceptional with the gloves throughout the match, conceding just three byes on a surface with uneven bounce, and has been impressive all series. Conditions in Indore were comparable to those he faced in the first Test in Galle last year when he was struck on the helmet by a Nathan Lyon delivery that exploded off the surface.

It continued the development of his keeping after some initial struggles on the low surfaces in Pakistan last year and a handful of missed chances early in his Test career. This time, he had some bruises on his shoulders to show for his efforts.
...

"In terms of our sundries, it was nice to reduce those and it can turn out to be an extra batter at times. You don't really think about it at the time, you probably think back and go 'that was pretty good', but a few nice little bruises as well just to get the body behind it."'

Gobsmacking slog by Carey to throw his wicket away on a dead pitch for a 4th-ball duck.

Needs to be seen to be believed.
What was he thinking?

Tim Paine

Video:

"After hanging up the gloves following a domestic career that begun way back in 2005, we look back at the very best of Tim Paine - widely considered one of the cleanest keepers to have ever pulled on the Baggy Green"

Three missed chances by Bairstow today. He's not a real keeper. He's a flat-track bully batsman who takes the gloves to lengthen England's batting.

The underedge of Khawaja no one would be expected to take. But Carey's edge off Root's bowling he shoulda taken. And the missed stumping of Green was an atrocious miss.

[K]

Yet another dropped catch by Bairstow...

And there were also a couple of nicks that went between keeper and first slip, with neither going for them. One from Carey, one from Khawaja IIRC.

Darren Berry:

"Carey has been outstanding at his wicketkeeping craft in this series standing back to the fast men and even more impressive over the stumps. His leg-side stumping of Zak Crawley at Lord’s was a thing of beauty that brought a smile to the ’keeping brethren. Bairstow has been a liability to the English team and the sooner they reinstate the best keeper in England, Ben Foakes, the better off they will be. No doubt Bairstow is a fine batsman, a game changer. His position in the team is not in question but his role in it certainly is. His footwork to the fast bowlers has been non-existent, his diving as result disjointed and awkward. His work up to the stumps has many club cricketers scratching their heads in bewilderment.

It’s been hard to watch, to be brutally honest."

More atrocious misses from Bairstow... Almost too many to count now.

It'd be more surprising if he actually took a good catch.

And an atrocious slog to a very wide ball from Starc to get out. If England are gonna keep sacrificing their keeping, they'd want a lotta runs in return.

After winning the World Cup selection battle few saw coming, Josh Inglis repaid the faith shown in him against South Africa in the semi-final

https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3788174/josh-inglis-repays-selectors-faith-with-his-invaluable-knock-australia-south-africa-world-cup-semi-final

"Carey's axing as Australia's one-day wicketkeeper after the opening game of the tournament was heavily scrutinised by past players.

Australia had never dropped a wicketkeeper midway through a World Cup and the fact it came after one game raised eyebrows.

Inglis also failed to make significant impact afterwards with a 58 against Sri Lanka and 38 against New Zealand his only scores above 20 in the tournament.

But the 28-year-old stood up when it mattered most on Thursday night.
...

But Inglis held his nerve and looked far more composed than some of Australia's more experienced batters who had come and gone.

The right-hander was able to pick the wrong-un of left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, and navigated Keshav Maharaj safely."


[Yup, Inglis looked by far the best Oz batter against the spinners. But how's his keeping??]

Lorcan Tucker (Ireland) is the keeper in Craddock's Test team of the year.

But sounds like it's for his batting ("century on debut against Bangladesh in challenging conditions in Dhaka"). How good is his keeping??

[K]

"Lorcan Tucker became only the sixth wicketkeeper to score a hundred on debut in men's Tests."
