      What about giving Hartley a go then? Not a long term option but to my knowledge has always been considered a good keeper and averaged 44 last year and 50 this year.

        How would we rate Handscomb with the gloves compared to Nevill, Wade, Hartley, Paine etc?

          I think now we've picked Wade over Nevill you have to stick with it and he gets the spot till the end of the summer. Unless he does something special though, I don't have him on the plane to India

            Let's hope they don't do what England did with Alec Stewart .
            They turned a decent bat into a capable keeper who became an average bat

              It couldn't. Could it?

                  Soon to be highest ever Pakistan 4th innings score and century up. And Maddison??

                      From the top shelf. It's one hell of a rear guard ton.

                        Anyone take up Pakistan at $49 or whatever it was starting today? Only 108 to win.

                              Credit where credit is due. Pakistan batting superbly and making a go of it. From being on the ropes on Day 3 to forcing a day 5 and a win still not off the cards. Superb Test Cricket.

                                It at least might explain his captaincy.
