    For God's sake, drop Brad Haddin

    Can't catch, can't bat. Enough is enough, bring Tim Paine in already. arrgghh.

      Before Nannes shattered his fingers. Better bat and keeper arguably. I'm sick of Haddin throwing away his wicket and dropping simple catches. When is enough, enought TCD.

        Paine is out for atleast 4 months (from 3 weeks ago) with a finger injury.

        Try again.

          I thought he was due back sooner. Staying in the team by default, is that what it has come to. Ah well, footy will be back soon enough and all this will be moot.

            That was the point I was making, Paine won't be back anytime soon. Agree Haddin is making errors both behind the stumps & with the bat, just not sure who a replacement might be.

              Matthew Wade should be playing in the test side now

                If Paine was available I'd have him in front but yes they need to make the move with Wade for Haddin.

                  Anyone else watching Sth Africa v Sri Lanka at the moment? Mark Boucher is making Brad Haddin look like Adam Gilchrist with the bat and Allan Knott with the gloves. He is completely cooked a test cricketer - just dropped an absolute soda that most keepers could take blind-folded.

                    Haddin can't be dropped ... The ratio of NSW players will drop below 50% which is is in direct contrast to our Natonal Team selection policy.

                      Just realised that the thread title contains the words drop & Brad Haddin in it.

                        I honestly believe Haddin is only in the side because the wicket position is ear marked for Paine and he isn't fit yet. So they don't upset the apple cart by putting a sort term keeper in there, Haddin stays. I guess the selectors are hoping he can limp through the next couple of months under the radar? Doesn't seem to be working.

                              They have done a pretty good job lately.
