Keeping wicket then coming in top of the order might not work is my reasoning, will probably stay middle order otherwise and risk running out of partners like happened in the first innings...
Do you remember a test match years ago, probably late 80s maybe when England run out of keepers and they hauled a recently retired Bob Taylor out of hospitality to go behind the stumps. Can’t remember who the original keeper was, maybe Paul Downton. Alternatively I may be making the whole thing up in my head. I’m sure it happened though.

Yes I remember it! Wasn't he seen drinking white wine in hospitality before he got the call?

Spot on Clasie, it was Bruce French though 😂

 
I’m kind of glad that actually happened because it’s always stuck in my mind.
It’s triggered a memory not thought of for decades. I’d never have been able to name the bowler, keeper or reserve keeper though.
