Hartley, Ludeman or my man Nevill.
They will go with that spud Wade though, shocking glovesman but can bat ok.

What type of wicket keeper would you prefer? One who is good with the gloves and bats at no 7. Or one that is average with the gloves and can bat? Its extremely rare to find a wicket keeper that can do both.
What's your opinion on Adam Gilchrist?

Gilchrist wasnt the best glovesman ever but he did a wonderful job especially to Warne. Gilly got better as time went on and became great.
Wade can bat but his glovework is horrendous, guaranteed a drop or missed catch every game. Worse against the spin. Warner would do a better job keeping than Wade.
Ive said for ages Nevill is the best keeper in the country and he has opened the bat for NSW in the shield, more than handy batter
Gilly ruined it for keepers, now all keepers are expected to average 40+ lol

Giving Johnson shit after he got a couple past his bat. Mate, he's been carting you since he got to the crease.

How old is this Nevill bloke and how come Cricket Australia hasn't given him a opportunity yet?

Would they think of batting Mitch at 7 given haddins form?

I.Sharma is actually one of the worst bowlers Ive seen. He should be very quiet atm as he isn't breaking any records atm.

30, averages 40 with the bat in 48 first class games.

I cannot stand Sharma. He's a peaheart. Limping on day one of the first Test when his team needed him, fielding sub-standard and then charges down the wicket when his team needed him to at least attempt to bat out the evening (unlikely, but he could've at least had a crack). A soft, soft cricketer with all the tools in the world, but fails to choose to use them and, instead, acts like a tool.

Only ever seen him bowl one decent spell ever, seems to be the only thing that keeps him getting a game

There is only 1 keeping spot available and the Aussie selectors tend to stick with their players unless they play a howler. Wade has been next in line for a long time although I dont understand why.

Because he is probably the best bat out of the keepers and in the post Gilchrist era that is about as important.

I think with MJ in the team batting is of less importance.

MJ is really having a good crack at it. When was his last ton? I think if he can get to 100 against India in our predicament earlier. It will be one of his greatest knocks.

Nooooooooo. I spoke too soon. Great knock though MJ. Well batted.

Well batted Smith. Another great performance to get Australia out of trouble. Standing ovation bro

No good when his shit keeping costs you games though.

The sooner Wade comes back into the squad the better

For Indias best chance to beat Australia they need to bat Dhoni at 6 and pick another bowler
