QLD vs WA

[Mantis]

QLD are copping a hiding, still 260 runs behind with only 6 wickets in hand.

Luke Ronchi scored 105* off only 54 balls - 11 sixes & 6 fours - Will give Haddin a run for his money to replace Gilly when he calls it quits.

Pomersbach 176 ( 22 4's & 8 6's) and Marsh 166no

Did I hear correctly that Ronchi's last 50 can off just 11 deliveries?
His keeping isn't great but I agree he will be a hard one to overlook soon.

I have a theory that in Twenty/20 cricket the keeper is nearly irrelevant and thought that a batsman who has done a little keeping would be sufficient but Ronchi is more than an adequate batsman at the moment.

Is it time to give Gilly a spell from Twenty/20 and one day cricket and start blooding both Haddin and Ronchi?

Gilly's the greatest batting wicketkeeper ever at the test level and we need to start grooming replacements now for him.
