That is a very good point, the fine art of wicket keeping seems to have been lost. Most are nothing more than backstops these days

Agree there aren't to many great keepers at test level these days
Would be interesting if any research has been done by these millions of coaching staff as to what kind of average a keeper batsmen needs to have to make up for his lesser keeping.
In guessing it would be an innings by innings case, some innings a keeper batsmen may only get one simple catch chance takes it, lets 5 byes through then his batting is a massive advantage.
On the other hand if he misses a stumping drops a 50/50 chance it goes the other way

I reckon Kris Srikkanth from India was probably about the first opening batsman to go straight into attacking mode.
Greenidge and Haynes too, to some extent, although that was probably their natural batting style anyway.

What things do you remember developing as the standard in each era
Include any form of the game
For me (I might have some mixed up)
90's
Reverse swing
Going hard early in a one dayer
Variety of slower ball grips
2000's
Agressive batting in test cricket
Need for an all rounder in test cricket
Cut shot over slips being a standard shot
Slog sweep, cow corner slap being accepted test match shot
Keeper batsmen
Bouncing tailenders
Reverse sweep
Sliding, diving etc etc in the field
Doosra
2010's
Not enforcing the follow on
Slower ball bouncers
Ramp shot
2 men out for the hook shot and agressive field setting

i think the 2000s brought an increase in fielding professionalism in general. almost everyone can field like johnty rhodes nowadays. can remember the west indies and other teams just not caring at all about fielding. India were also particularly bad.
i think the in-out field in test matches is also something that has come in recently, especially a deep point going out early, and as you have mentioned, two back behind square.
