Cricket Carnival brings to you a presentation from Bob Taylor on wicketkeeping.

He donned the gloves for 57 Test matches snapping up 167 catches and completing 7 stumpings. This included a record ten catches against India in a Test match at Bombay in 1980.

The 59 year old Taylor talks about the central role of the wicketkeeper in motivating his team. This is an excellent guide for beginners and coaches on the finer aspects of wicketkeeping. Taylor demonstrates the values of concentration, maintaining a clear line of vision and techniques to 'stand up' to a bowler.
