Bairstow's record

Should his keeping record include the 2 catches / 1 stumping made as stand-in keeper against WI in 2019? Spike 'em (talk) 12:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Substitute wicketkeepers

edit

The Cricinfo query does not include replacement wicketkeepers not in the starting XI (i.e. a substitue fielder keeping wicket, such as Ollie Pope taking 4 catches as a substitute 'keeper at Sydney in 2022) so something needs changing here. AFAIK it's not possible to query Cricinfo for catches by substitute fielders (and moreover Cricinfo does not record whether the substitute was behind the stumps), so perhaps the text needs clarifying or the sentence removing entirely. It's also arguable that this contains original research - a specifically conconcted database query is research isn't it? I'm flagging it as needing a citation so it gets sorted.
