If he gets a proper chance, he could be capable of big things.

For the wicketkeeper in the Test side, it is permissable to ‘just’ be a top-class wicketkeeper (even post-Gilchrist). For ODIs and T20Is, then he just needs to be a top-class batsman who is competent enough behind the stumps to avoid giving away tons of extras or missing easy chances.

It was quite embarrassing . He didn’t call anyone dude though.
