I think Parthiv Patel is doing a decent job, but Syed Kirmani is absoutely right and Parthiv needs to be more consistent. If India aspires to the Number 1 test team, we need a keeper-batsman like Adam Gilchrist. However, the one-day puzzle of Dravid doubling up as keeper is a tough one to solve. Unless Parthiv or someone shapes up to be a Gilchrist, it is difficult to leave a specialist batsman and include a specialist wicket keeper.
