So case unproven I'm afraid.
You make a good point to suggest that she hasn't been tested against the best men's teams' bowlers. I don't think that fast bowling would present an insurmountable challenge, it's just a case of standing further back. And I also think she's a good enough athlete to be able to cope standing up to the very best "mystery spinners". That's why I think she's the best in the world. And that's why the best-ever wicket keeper batsman, Adam Gilchrist named her as such. And he's possibly an even better judge than me!
I'm certainly not saying that she hasn't got one of the best pair of hands in the game. But until she is tested keeping to the best male bowlers in the world she cannot be called the "best keeper" in the world.
Case still unproven. And I don't care if Adam Gilchrist says so. He wasn't one of the great keepers either.
Edit - I have also asked my son who has just got back from taking one of his GCSEs and who knows more about keeping than I will ever do as he has kept for Kent age groups sides for the last six years, has had numerous sessions with Geraint Jones amongst others and has yet to let a bye through in the Kent Cricket League this season from almost a thousand balls. And he, of course, totally agrees with me. But then he would wouldn't he!
Taylor has better hands than Buttler and standing up is at least his equal. That doesn't make her a better overall keeper. And Foakes, for a start, is better than all of them.1 -

I reckon they’ll have Buttler opening with Bairstow. Either way, you’re looking at Chris Woakes coming in to bat at number six today.0
-
I think it rather depends on what we're chasing. Anything less than 250 and I would open with Root.0
-
Rashid hasn't been at his best bowling recently but drops by Roy and Woakes in this series don't do him any favours.0

Could even have Stokes opening, as he's pretty solid these days. I wouldn't want Buttler against fresh opening bowlers0

And then he goes for a couple of maximums0

Who would have said that Moeen wouldn't be in our WC team a few months ago? With the tracks as they are and Root doing a job it is difficult to see him getting back in.0

Although, of course, it does beg the question as to why on earth they're giving the gloves to Buttler, when Plunkett's in the team...0 -

Brilliant by Buttler. That was a huge call to go for a review as soon as he had taken over as captain.0

2. Yes, she is. But not for those reasons.0 -
I think England will struggle to continue their unbeaten, world-best run of consecutive scores of over 300 today.0
