Seems a valid enough comment given the missed stumping in the last 20/20.
Australia bats quite deeply so a wicketkeeper who can bat is a better choice
than a batsman who can keep
It is a valid comment Chuks, but there's (at least) two things wrong.
a) Haddin himself was picked because he was allegedly the best
batsman/keeper in the Shield, so it's a bit rich him taking the "pick the
best keeper..." line.
b) Once again, it's the NSW propaganda unit bashing an Other. I'll bet you
now that you'll not *ever* read anything from Bad Hands which snipes at a
Poo like this piece of work. Jesus! The poor kids been given one T20 game
in a dead rubber as a reward for a good season and as A Nod because the
selectors want to see him in A Big Game. So after his first game he reads
how the recently ex-national Test keeper bags him. Nice work Brad. What a
man. And of course, like Airhead, Bad *never, ever* missed a chance. Fuck
off Haddin. You were the worst regular Oz 'keeper I've ever seen. Gloves
like dead mullet and boots with lead soles.
Also, isn't there an Unwritten Rule in Oz cricket whereby ex-players don't
bag their contempories? I can't recall Huss or Punter doing it.

He's playing club cricket so what, maybe he sees it is a way of getting into
the BB and IPL. He certainly wouldn't be the oldest player running around in
the big 20/20 comps
He can't live without seeing his name in the papers. Maybe he just expected
to walk into the Nein commontary immediately? Probably on a donkey and with
palm fronds prominent.
