Australia v West Indies tour

Re: Australia v West Indies tour

Siddle and Pattinson are heading home meaning that Harris, Hilfenhaus and Starc are only quick bowlers left. I wonder if we will go in with two spinners again

I've backed Clarke to the hilt, but this constant blowing wind up each other drives me crazy.
He came out and said Haddin's our number 1 keeper!
I'm currently watching Wade smoke the Windies bowling to all parts and is making the pitch look like a road ( after the others struggled)I'd have Haddin even behind Peter Neville, honestly!

Yep, Wade answered in the best posible fashion.

Playing Haddin again is a massive step backwards, Wade is the future, Haddin is the past.. and a hack to boot.

Haddin won't be back despite whatever Clarke says.

Despite being a selector?

I doubt very much he will get the support.

Does Clarke also help pick touring teams or squads or just pick the team when on tour and during a series?

You guys know nothing about selecting an Australian cricket side. A Tasmanian playing for Victoria is far too diverse for the selectors, even if he is in form. It is much easier to have a second rate NSWman in there.

I think Peter Neville would have been a very good selection and a real toss of the coin between him and Wade.

All the time I believe.

The danger in having your captain as a selector.
Haddin must have his own set of Bingle pics.

I shook my head when I read this, this morning.

Nice leg side catch off the spinner

His glovework in the third Test sold me. Pretty much any pro keeper can keep to swing bowling and pace bowling, but he kept very well to multiple spinners on a deck that was doing heaps. Unfortunately we dont have a world class leggie to test him against, but his keeping really well.

Don't worry, Haddin is surely gone at International level, and I think probably at State level looking at NSW stocks.

TwoDogs always says Australia's team is made up of 5 batsmen, 4 bowlers, a wicketkeeper and a good bloke.
