Back Up Keeper

[Sanchez]

If Gilchrist was to break his arm for example, who would be the next best keeper
Is it still Haddin

 

[Twizzle]

definately

as far as an all round replacement goes, he's in form

 

[Sanchez]

any up and coming keepers providing any possible competition

 

[Twizzle]

yeah 2

Tim Payne from Tassie and the keeper from WA, name is on the tip of my tongue

both keeper/batsmen

 

[lockyno1]

Luke Ronchi is the one you are thinking of Twiz. Hartley will be close as well.

 

[Master Vippo]

Hartley and Crossthwaite aren't bad though

 

[PARANoIR]

Based on Keeping ability, it should be Hartley, but on alround ability, hard to go past Paine.

edit: not including Haddin obviously.

 

[dowdz]

Haddin would be 1st choice. I would say Paine would be next with his current form

 

[Twizzle]

Luke Ronchi is the one you are thinking of Twiz. Hartley will be close as well.

thats the man

f**ked if I could think of his name last night

 

[aussies1st]

Looks like a real talent to, if he could be more consistent I'd have him as keeper in both forms.

 

[hineyrulz]

haddin would be next in line in the immediate future,but tim paine looks like the long term replacement. actually australia are pretty lucky in the keeping department at ATM.

 

[Sanchez]

hows r. campbell going these days he had a run a few years back

 

[aussies1st]

Retired

 

[lockyno1]

Crosthewaithe is rubbish. He is a rubbish Hartley. A traditional keeper that can't bat well really!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

i yearn for those days.

 

[Timbo]

Haddin by the length of the straight. Then daylight, then Paine.

However, if you'll all recall, this is the third 'next big superstar keeper' Tassie have had in as many years. How are Sean Clingleffer and David Dawson doing these days?

 

[lockyno1]

I don't remember Clingeffer ever being touted as the next big thing. He was always just a "solid keeper" and still is!

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Haddin should be in the ODI team for his batting alone. he is definetly the back up keeper

 

[Parra Guru]

Haddin has a F/C batting average of 39.2. Pretty impressive for a keeper. It sucks that he is already 29 though. Wouldn't it be great if we had someone slightly younger with the same ability to take over from Gilly?

When does everyone think Gilly will retire?

 

[Twizzle]

after the WC I'd say
