I have never understood the rationale behind the wicketkeeper-batsman argument. A good keeper can make up far more than his batting weakness by stopping balls and making difficult dismissals. In all formats.
If any of you watched Syed Kirmani catch some perfectly-executed leg glances, you might have an idea. The look on the batsmen used to be something.
