The ODI Wicketkeeper/ Fielder Rankings 2008 is out! in the third edition of Vineet’s Cricket Rankings (
CS Baugh (West Indies) did well to top this list as he had 10 dismissals in just 5 matches with 7 catches and 3 stumpings. Kamran Akmal was actually the star in real sense claiming 27 victims in 14 matches with 24 catches and 3 stumpings. Dhoni dismissed the maximum 49 batsmen with 38 catches and 11 stumpings but came 4th in the list.
The best non-wicketkeeper fielder on the list was Porterfield (Ireland) taking 9 catches in as many matches he played in 2008. Next best was AB de Villiers with 14 catches in 17 matches.
