I agree, being from NSW players tend to be favoured.
Time for a younger player and hopefully he can hang around for a few years to come. Too many dropped catches already.

Re: time to go haddin
Talk about knee jerk reaction- if he hasnt done better by the end of the summer, then fair enough- let Haddin go, but for godsake let him have a whole summer at home before you write him off.
He's only had two overseas tours to start off with- and he made his name down here!

Re: time to go haddin
I totally agree. Wait to the end of the summer. He definitely won't be the next Gilly, and no one else in world cricket will be. That catch he dropped today was absolutely terrible, but Ronchi isn't exactly setting the world on fire at the minute. At the moment, on current form, I would have Tim Paine ahead of him.

As it was for Gilly- remember what Flintoff did to him in '05!D.K;284798 said:

Haddin ain't much chop but he's still a hundred times better than any of Englands keepers, they have a different one every two weeks, and there always 35 year old bald hacks.

Watch out for Tim Paine from Tasmania
Great keeper, good batsmen and only 22 years old, been playing for Tassie since he was 16, should start developing him

Re: time to go haddin
Domestic keepers atm are:
WA: Ronchi
TAS: Paine
NSW: Smith and Haddin
QLD: Hartley
VIC: Crosthwaite and Wade
SA: Manou
Ronchi is in shocking form
Paine is one that i really like the look of
Smith can hardly get to 50 for NSW
Haddin is definetly the best we have right now
Hartley gets a ton once a season
Crosthwaite isn't getting a game in the 4day comp and is average at OD's
Wade is young and it will be out of him and Paine in five years or so
Manou is very good but a bit to old

Has a big future ahead of him, but not quite ready yet. They can't afford to rush him. Give him a few years at least.

You blokes are harsh.
As a few have said give him at least until the end of the summer.
You cannot compare his batting to Gilchrist because he was a one off bar Sangakara who is now only a batsmen.
You have to compare him to Healy and past keepers. Healy only ever averaged about 30 and Marsh was 26 i think. Haddin is averaging 26 but has only played 8 tests, you can only start to compare after he has played 20 tests or so.
Sure his dropped catch the other day when he dived in front of Hayden was terrible but all good keepers have done that at some stage.
And you say he will struggle with the swinging and seaming ball in England, Gilchrist didn't exactly set the world on fire in his last tour of England either.
So if he can average 30 over there and 30 for the rest of his career for Australia he will be good enough.
