Who is the current NSW keeper, he is probably the next annointed one....

Wade is a very average keeper.
He needs a chest guard

Handscombe may be a better option than Wade but it's hard to see him getting a spot (as a keeper) when he's not keeping for his State.

Wade is a scrapper and he has a go; traits that seem alien to most blokes in our Test team.

Untidy keeper who makes runs versus tidy keeper who struggles to make runs. ....hmm big call.

What about Sam Whiteman from WA as keeper/bat at no.7?

I've long been a Tim Paine fan. Where's he at?

I'd prefer a 5th bowler, at least.

Shaun Marsh, Khawaja and Ferguson are all average fielders IMO.

Ask yourself two things:

  1. How do we take 20 wickets (can your selections do that)?
    How do we score 300 plus in the first innings?

Solve those and you'll start winning matches.

When you're looking at your proposed teams, how do they measure up?

They would probably do better if he was playing rather than coaching...

Bit of a story breaking about the SA Captain doing the old lolly trick.

Pretty suspect, the report states he licks his fingers but the video shows him almost swallowing an index finger, his boyfriend must be very happy! Big Grin
