BBC Sport Academy | Cricket | Masterclasses | Wicket-keeping skills with Geraint

Hi, I'm England wicket-keeper Geraint Jones and this is my guide to the all-round skills of the job.

As well as good hands, the keeper needs quick reactions for stumpings and for diving around.

Remember:

When catching, keep your head in line with the ball

Move your feet to get your head and hands into the right position

Get your head over your hand when diving for the ball

Don't snatch when attempting a stumping, let the ball come to you

With a bit of practise you'll be diving around taking stumpings all summer!
