when young players are involved stats is only one measurement. in any case ramdin has been playing for several years now. he can be measured statistically, far more that any other keeper we have.
I not so certain you really want to use stats arguing fuh Ramdins . there arent any in his favour! all thats in Ramdins favour is that he is the best of a bad lot
compared to a} international keepers and b} what we know is required to call a keeper good...Ramdin does not cut it. in all of westindies test cricket Ramdin is just about the weakest incumbent keeper we have had

westindies is rather unfortunate in keepers since Ridley left! Brown had his problems and Junior Murray got old too quick, leaving westindies with no experienced keepers to turn to.
at every past occasion of change prior to the current kids, we have had a mid-late twenties, experienced keeper or 2, waiting in the wings to turn to. keepers simply do not mature early and westindies will have to struggle with these kids, hoping that especially Ramdin does not burn out before he has a chance to mature..that he gets better insetad of burning out
but we doh need to fite over a great predicament in westindies cricket right now...what to do about the keeping situaton
