Wicket-keeping records

The wicket-keeper is a specialist fielder who stands behind the stumps being guarded by the batsman on strike, and is the only member of the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg pads. [85] Many players have played matches both as a wicket-keeper and as a regular fielder; in the records below, the number of innings refers to those where the player was the nominated wicket-keeper at the start of the match, and the number of catches only include those taken as a wicket-keeper.

Most career dismissals

A wicket-keeper can be credited with the dismissal of a batsman in two ways, caught or stumped. A fair catch is taken when the ball is caught fully within the field of play without it bouncing after the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat, [86] [87] while a stumping occurs when the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket while the batsman is out of his ground and not attempting a run. [88] Jos Buttler is the highest-ranked England player, at 4th place, in the list of most dismissals in T20Is as a wicket-keeper, the list being headed by South African Quinton de Kock with 102 dismissals (84 catches and 18 stumpings).

  1. 1 2 Cricinfo lists Buttler as having made 1 catch as a fielder whilst being the designated keeper, [93] whilst their description of the catch says he was the wicket-keeper at the time. [94] Their wicket-keeping totals (both catches and total dismissals) fail to include this dismissal; if this catch is counted towards his wicket-keeping total it gives him a total of 73 catches and 88 dismissals, which are the totals given in other sources.
