Haddin you spud,Is Matt Wade's keeping really as bad as we all say or do we go over the top cos he's from Victoriania? he's a better batsmen than Haddud,actually he's a better batsmen the 2 Marsh's as well.

Scissorhands is the biggest plod since Wazn.

But haddin is light years ahead of the next best isnt he?

Harsh on Siddle. He really dropped off a cliff after the previous Ashes series but prior to that he was pretty consistantly good and consistently fit, which was pretty valuable as others went down around him. Definitely deserved to be dropped but did a reasonable job much of his career.

With Veggieman I mean since the last 4 - 5 tests with no signs of ever getting better.

Haddin will see out the series, to support Smith if nothing else (and his keeping is as good as its ever been).

There may be a serious discussion on his place after though.

I'm glad that I now know Kilkenny won the 1993 Hurling competition. Don't know what I would have done without that vital information. I can die happy now.

Yes. Wade is god awful. Unless he's improved out of sight, he simply can't be the keeper. Lyon will have nightmares if he gets recalled.



I still remember Edward dropping catch after catch off Lyon in that Adelaide test against the Saffers... pretty much cost us the match.

I think at test level you have to pick your keeper on his glove work first and foremost.

I don't like the way the side is balanced. What's Watson's role supposed to be. Is he supposed to be an allrounder ? If so its silly to play both him and marsh. If he's a batsman he's simply not good enough to bat at three.

He missed somewhere within the vicinity of 10-15 chances off Lyon in 3 test matches in India after. Led to Haddin being recalled in England.
