Alex Carey is one of our worst keepers in recent memory, imo.

Matthew Wade had questionable hands, but at least he contributed with the bat.

Carey offers nothing.
Depends what you value i suppose.

Peter Nevill was a excellent keeper technically but batting wise didn't offer a lot and wasn't loud enough behind the stumps hence why they had bring Wade after the debacle in Hobart 2016 which led to the Sandpaper shit 18 months later with a win at all costs attitude.

I didnt rate Wade as a keeper is batting was serviceable but like Mitch Marsh wasnt top 6 quality to be in the side as a batsman.

I saw him live make a 100 at Edgbaston in 2019 with Smudge but there was never any consistency to it.

Said more about the batting stocks at the time Wade was playing as a batsman after Tim Paine took over.

How Wade was being picked as a top 6 batsman is one for Ripley’s. yet Inglis a much better bat and keeper can’t get a look in. Fish face should be on borrowed time.

Justin Langer liked his fight supposedly it probably reminded the peanut of himself tbh.

A bloke who wouldnt shut up, and an average bat that looked like he was getting more out of himself when he wasn't really that good.

I just don't think Carey is good enough to warrant his spot as a keeper, or a batsman.

He's woefully average at both, I think.

no chirp either

a good keeper has to be a chirper, loved Tim Paine giving to Murali Vijay when referring to the rat

I know he's your captain, but you can't seriously like him as a bloke — you couldn't possibly like him

His chirp was shit when it comes to texting though.
