Just an observation but do we need a full time wicket keeper in T20 cricket? Could we get by with Ben Dunk?

Wade's keeping is pretty disgusting for a full time wicket keeper. I wouldn't have him anywhere near the Australian side in any form of the game.

I've heard the argument go both ways and some people calling for an outright specialist keeper, say a Tim Ludeman. The reasoning being you don't bat as many overs and in theory shouldn't require as many batsman and every fielding mistake is amplified because the player missed can do so much damage in such a short amount of time, a dropped catch can genuinely lose the game.

Which side of the argument has more credence I don't know

Unfortunately, I have to agree. There is actually more pressure on the keeper in limited overs without the close in field and Wade just seems not up to it at present.

Agree, the disappointing this is how inconsistent he is, pull off a ripper stumping then drops a relatively easy chance up to the stumps off the spinners. Needs time and work but he ticks all other boxes you'd want in a cricketer
