The most underrated XI of all time in cricket

7. Mark Boucher

A complete wicket-keeper who could keep wickets with equal finesse to all kinds of bowlers, Mark Boucher, without a doubt one of the greatest wicketkeepers of all time.The Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman holds the record for most number of dismissals in tests by 532 catches and 23 stumpings in 147 Tests.

Besides being a natural behind the stumps, keeping with ease, Boucher had been a more than handy customer lower-order with an average in excess of 30 across the formats, adding runs on a regular basis on each visit to the crease, also performing under pressure and in the most trying conditions.

His knock of 43-ball-50 in the record 434-run chase against Australia at the Wanderers in 2006, dismantling the potent Aussie bowling will remain etched in the record books as not only one of the greatest matches of all time, but also a special knock for the Protea keeper.

After being severely injured by a bail in his right eye during a warm-up in 2012, Boucher had to unfortunately announce his retirement from all forms of international cricket. For all his credentials to the game, Mark Boucher was not as hailed as his longtime opponent Adam Gilchrist and was underappreciated.
