nah serious. he's taken a couple of good grabs but his footwork all series has been rat ****. he's frequently being forced to dive when he should never have to. he's been alright because he's got really good hands, and it looks flashy and cool but it's not good keeping.

Yeah I've thought this all series myself - his footwork is really poor

Agree on Wade as well though and Haddin is still the right pick

Good fielding. Harris doesn't really need to continue this bouncer line of attack, odd ball is fine but not to many.

yeah the biggest comparison is that haddin gets into the wrong positions, but still takes everything cleanly in the middle of the gloves. It's not an issue until it gets to the point where he needs to cover more than a regulation amount of ground, in some way like for that last chance*. wade on the other hand, maybe has better footwork, getting into the right spots, but then just straight out drops the ball. his hands are so ****.

* fundamentally he should have been further the other way, if his footwork was more technically correct the chance would have been even more difficult.
