Graham Manou: 83 matches - 2850 runs @ 22.56 260 catches @ 3 per game
Luke Ronchi: 36 matches - 1702 runs @ 33.37 123 catches @ 3 per game

So Haddin is definitley the best batsman followed by Ronchi and then Psine and Chris Hartley has the best catch ratio.
What Eddiesmith said. Crosthwaite is the next best option when it comes to Twenty20.

Anyway, shouldn't form come into the equation?

Ronchi can't make over 10 at the moment and there is no way he should be anywhere near the Australian side.

Twenty20 stats would be better. Also, this season stats would be more relevant than career-long.

Okay sorry guys I will get some 20 20 stats.

Manou: 4 matches 52 runs @ 17.33
Crossthwaite: 4 matches 35 runs @ 17.50
Hartley: 4 matches 27 runs ( dosen't have an average as his on innings has been 27 n.o.)
Ronchi: 2 matches 23 runs @ 11.50
Paine: 3 matches 22 runs @ 7.33

So you are correct that Manou and Crossthwaite are the best 20 20 wicket keepers ATM on form.

Kallis opening the batting for a Twenty20? I don't like the sound of that.

I think it could work.

He can see out the opening 3-4 overs and go from there.

The last thing you want is to lose 3 wickets in the first 3 overs of a t 2o.
