Is Brad Haddin the best keeper Australia have ?

this could be a nufanesque taste

So anyway, you're absolutely kidding yourself Salamuddin. Haddin is and always has been class. Would have to be one of the most underrated test cricketers in the world at the moment. Which suits me because tasters gonna taste.

The guy has the ability to pull us out of **** situations pretty regularly. Reckon I can remember 5 or 6 times when we've been 7/100something and he's guided us close to 300.

Haddin until Nevill is ready. Need to maintain bl00 representation.

Yeah, but at the same time he's also had periods where, when one of those innings was needed, he's slapped the ball straight to short cover for 5.

He's imperfect, but ATM he's still better than the alternatives. The discussion is now mostly about who comes in for him when he hangs up the gloves, tbh. Agree with Tangles and Benchmark that Nevill should be the guy.

Yeh maybe, I just seem to remember a number of occasions where he's really dragged us out of the ****. I mean his first innings here has completely saved us and changed the whole tone of the game. Without his contribution (and MJs) we would have been rolled for 150ish.

Really rate Haddin as a batsman. Has brainfarts sometimes but frequently delivers in tough situations.
And his lofted drives are pure ***

Premier wicket keeper batsman.

Yeah one of my favourite shots in cricket. Just hits it so clean.

Brad Haddin is the second fastest to 200 test dismissals in 50 tests. Behind only Adam Gilchrist who took 47 #ashes

haddin of course would have got there faster if he had glenn mcgrath in the team

FFS, stop riding his knob

Prior averages 7 runs more per innings with the bat and ADV about 15

If you think that any Australian wouldn't punt Haddin for either, then you are completely deluded

Oh wait ......

Anyway. congrats to him for one of his few decent tests in the last 3 years

i'll ride whoever's knob i want bud (assuming they are ok with it)

Shows how class of a player Brad Haddin is with those stats after keeping to inferior bowlers. Second best keeper bat Australia's had IMO.
