Just heard on Inside Cricket from Rodney Hogg and Allan Border that Tim Paine will never keep again but continue to play as a batter.

Any one else heard any further on this?

He is not good enough as a batsmen to play for Australia.

Hell there are better keeper batsmen than him.

Most overrated player in Australia.

Something I did not realise is that Tim Paine is 27. Not a player for another decade.

Chuck should recruit him. Just what we need

Matthew Wade at 24 would be a more solid choice.

what about Smith from NSW ? Can hit a ball

Why all the love for Wade?
Peter Nevill is a far better glovesman than Wade and equal if not better with the bat. Nevill is one of the top run scorers at shield level this season. I dont think Wade's keeping ability is much better than Haddin's

How about a we pick a keeper without 2 first names!!

Fingers are a mess. will have little to no movement in at least 1 if not more fingers, as he would have numerous pins and screws in them. I heard they considered removing one of his digits its that badly damaged.

He is only 24 years old
Reckon he batted 8 often , so his SS run stats were reasonable

This is very pedantic but he was 28. I do however admit that when I first read your post I though "nah, no more than 26 surely". So I still pay this one to you

It's amazing that you can have such a decorated and brilliant career despite starting so late. It makes a mockery of some of the recent selections and comments on here about needing to start them in their early 20s.

This is anally retentive but Gilly was 27 years and 351 days on Test debut ...
