balls profile: Mark Boucher

No player is more like a reliable station wagon than Mark Boucher.  Holds the records for the most dismissals as a wicket keeper in test cricket.  Has done this without being a particularly great wicket keeper.  He is also not much of a batsman.  Yet there he is, behind the stumps, being all Boucher like.  Plucky, game, in for a scrap and more likeable than the whole team combined.  He is one hell of a cliche generator.  Right now I want to call him someone I would go to war with.  I’d love to hate him, but he just seems to ballsy.  If you were picking a cricketer to date your sister, you could do worse than Boucher.  His friendship to Kallis has been ignored for this profile.

    He’s the other bloke in Flight of the Conchords who doesn’t speak as much as Jermaine.

    Not being a particularly great wicket keeper!!! You mad son. He lets through very few byes and when last do you recall him even dropping a catch.
