As I mentioned before which you most likely have missed, I've kept many times. But then again, I'm not payed hundreds of thousands to play for my country

If you keep your hands relaxed, have plenty of give and watch the ball closely it is very catchable.

I say it's catchable because those sorts of catches have been taken many times before, namely by Haddin's predecessors. Go and watch a few of their videos keeping to Warne to refresh your memory.

I suggest you have a look at the dismissal again.

Got nothing to do with soft hands if it deflects that much

Hilfy has bowled brilliantly in this match, with a bit of luck in the first inning he could have taken 5 but a few catches went down off his bowling, and he'll probably get 5 in this inning. Although he won't get much credit for his performance (he'll be overshadowed by Huss, Clarkey and Punter) he's had an excellent game.

Bowles brilliant in Melbourne as well. Leading wicket taker with 15 I think, great return.

Hilfenhaus is having a once in a lifetime test series for him. Expect him to return to straight as an arrow 130 clicks later in the season. Plus he has a muppet look about him.

Not sure that was out...naked eye had it going down leg but finally Patto gets the wicket he deserved after having Haddin drop a sitter.

And ppl are saying that Cummins, Hazelwood etc. should be in the side. Yes, I would like to eventually see them in the side as well, but with all 3 pace bowlers bowling very well at the moment, u don't change a winning combination for the sake of seeing other players in.

Can someone in Wellington check on Fast Eddie? He's probably collapsed at his computer now that all his death riding of the Aussies isn't paying off.

I suggest you go and watch videos of edges like that being taken before, on much more difficult pitches. The edge is the same way as the spin of the ball, the keeper should be expecting it.

If you think it's too hard (which it shouldn't be), you're obviously an incredibly shit cricketer. A good keeper, especially a test keeper, is expected to take them.
