More on that, Haddin obviously has credits left over from the last Ashes series. He's been given a lot more rope with the view of getting him to this year's Ashes series. The leadership team obviously like him...Lehmann, Clarke, Smith etc. He provides stability and leadership, and there's been few options up until recently to replace him (with Nevill).
There's also been a serious reluctance on the selectors' part to take a risk with a new keeper who may or may not be ready - call it the Wade Effect. His performances in India just about ended Lyon's career. The last thing we need is to restart that revolving door of spinners because a keeper is costing him wickets..
The next 7 tests are in his hands...He'll get those, provided his keeping stays up to scratch in England. Lets face it....the 2 upcoming tests against WI are pretty much going to be treated as warm ups.. After that, there'll be serious questions on his future.
