BJ Watling and Brendon McCullum.
The numbers are increasingly impressive and the opinion of his coach is unequivocal.
"I think he's the best test wicketkeeper in the world at the moment," Mike Hesson said yesterday.
"And that's not just me. Experts from around the world who watch a lot of cricket think he's as good
as there is going around and I certainly concur."
Watling snared another eight catches in the 186-run belting of the West Indies in Jamaica this week - three of them notable takes, including the one to finish the match off Sulieman Benn's bat from Kane Williamson's offspin - to maintain a rousing run of success with the gloves.
His first innings 89 also helped push New Zealand past 500, and maintain a fine recent series of first innings scores. Getting beyond 400 in the first innings is something of a mantra for the New Zealand side. They've managed it in six of their last eight tests and only once, the 192 against India at the Basin Reserve in February, have they had a genuine first innings fumble.
