We've kinda joked about Nevill playing for a little while now but I would seriously pick him ahead of Wade for the role we'd want him in. I'd stick with Haddin for the time being tbh but Nev would legitimately be my next in line.
It really is a bizarre situation. Even if they don't drop Haddin, he'll retire at seasons end. But Paine still can't really be considered even then cause he's missed two seasons pretty much. So there's two guys they haven't really paid much attention to fighting it out. One who is great with the gloves but iffy with the bat (good form this season and all from Nev) and Wade who is the opposite. I'm fine with either of them. But I have a feeling the selectors will be conservative and just keep Haddin for now and hope one of them makes the shield final and does something in it
Is Nevill a superior Keeper as well? What's his batting style like? A grinder or aggressive?
Can that really even be called a shot, it was more like giving catching practice. Now it would be seriously annoying if Wade doesn't make his debut in the next game.
Good intent though.
Haha... Is there a joke somewhere there I'm missing?
Yeah Nevill's a genuine keeper and a technician with the bat. I don't think he'd be capable of playng the big innings semi-regularly like Haddin has done and like Wade probably could; but I think he'd more consistently get starts and contributions, and work better with the collapsing nature of the top/middle order. Probably the best gloveman in the Shield at the moment too.
