Top 5 wicketkeepers from England 

#2 Godfrey Evans

Godfrey Evans takes a catch

Godfrey Evans played 91 Test matches for England between 1946 and 1959, and those who watched him play often said that he was the greatest wicket-keeper of all time. Hence, his status as one of the best English wicket-keepers ever is not up for debate.

His natural athleticism behind the stumps was revolutionary in itself. Evans was known to possess strong powers of concentration, and his raw reflexes made the toughest of catches look easy.

In 91 Test matches, he recorded 173 catches and 46 stumpings and kept wickets to bowlers like Alec Bedser, Maurice Tate, Fred Trueman and Jim Laker among others.
