I think his bye average is almost that now

But seriously i would rather a keeper who can keep. To me a keepers role goes keeper 1st batsmen 2nd not vice versa.

Despite letting those byes, a couple of mishaps, he ain't Gilchrist but he suits us at this stage, his batting has been good over the summer & his average has boosted up.

Keep it up Haddin

1 dropped catch an innings could cost alot more than just 25 runs

Although after watching the T20 last night, atleast Haddins spot aint going to be in any jeapordy from his state team mate

If Australia had a keeper that was a worse batsman than Lee and johnson then that will be awful.

Quoting my own post which was validated by Ronchi's terrible effort in the state 20/20

Maybe you would have a better chance if you played for England they go through keepers like tissues.

They even had that old fart once, Paul Nixon I think.

Another poor performance in the one dayers today missing a crucial run out, he doesn't even seem to have a go if the throw is hard and rocketed in!

Keeps missing runouts, his footwork is crap, he seems heavy on his feet and very flatfooted like he is rooted in the ground. He doesn't move well at all.
