List of Australia Test wicket-keepers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alex Carey, current Australia Test wicket-keeper
Jack Blackham, Australia's first and longest-serving wicket-keeper
Adam Gilchrist, a pioneer of modern wicketkeeping, holds the record for most dismissals by an Australian wicket-keeper in Test cricket
Tim Paine, is the longest-serving wicket-keeper captain for Australia

Wicket-keepers plays an important role in test cricket and, over time, the role has evolved into a specialist position.

In Test cricket, only 34 wicket-keepers have kept wicket in a match for Australia.[1]

Jack Blackham was the first and longest-serving wicket-keeper who kept wicket for Australia and is considered first of the modern great wicketkeepers.[2][1] He played in thirty-five Test matches between 1877 and 1894 for Australia against England in which he caught 36 catches and stumped 24.[2] He was also the first wicket-keeper captain of the Australian cricket team.[1]

Jack Blackham, Billy Murdoch, Barry Jarman, Adam Gilchrist, and Tim Paine are the only wicket-keepers who have captained the Australian cricket team. Paine is the longest serving wicket-keeper Test captain for Australia.

This list only includes players who have played as the designated keeper for a match. On occasions, another player may have stepped in to relieve the primary wicket-keeper due to injury or the keeper bowling.[3]

Statistics are correct as of 9 February 2024.[4]
