Wicketkeepers are a unique breed, and something of a club. Always at the heart of the action, they know the game better than almost anyone else on the pitch. They can pick the bowlers better than most (what it's like keeping to Warnie or Lillee) and in modern times they've had to hold their place amongst the top six batsmen.
Some of our greatest players, and certainly our most beloved, have been wicketkeepers. But what's not often noted is how often they represent the spirit of the team, from Marsh's gruff resilience to Healy's combative chippiness to Gilchrist's overabundance of talent to Haddin's plucky, ageing determination.
From award-winning journalist and author Malcolm Knox comes a new inside history of Australia's favourite game.
