Problem is he is average with the gloves and cannot be taken to India.
As I said, the selection was short sighted, considering that tour is just around the corner
I think while we are winning they will stick with Wade, Pakis are just deplorable and like New Zealand in the One dayers look
like they are here for a holiday and couldnt be bothered...8/97 is pathetic on a decent pitch unless of course they have a few
rupee's on the result.

Just makes no sense persisting with a crap keeper.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-17-2016
You guys beat me to this, as I've been coaching today. Yep, Wade has been disappointing. His batting has been woeful and the missed stumping was awful and doesn't help his cause with the bevy of haters he has in the commentary box...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-17-2016
The trouble is bias has burnt some of the best prospective keepers around the country. At U21 level we had a bevy of serious keepers who could all bat at the top of the order and they got kiboshed by development squad selections. It's really starting to hurt Australian Cricket, too much nepotism.
I know of two seriously good youth keepers, one of whom has made a double century on a ACB youth team tour of the UK, who gave cricket away in the last year because of the situation with selection and administrator harassment. Too many cousin's, nephews and other relatives getting spots that are not deserved. The talented kid who is not connected has to work 300% harder to get a spot ahead of Uncle Bozo's very average nephew!
The money now being earned has really corrupted the process. Years back it was just pushy, political parents who were meddling in affairs, now it's also some "player manager/coach/administrators" who gets a slice of the pie as well!
I had one keepers parent tell me if you are not in tight with a certain group of ACB cricket mafia your kids career is pretty much dead and buried by the time they exit their teens. He told me the kid was harassed by certain officials to leave school and move interstate to play club cricket, even showed me an abusive text stating that if his kid didn't accept the offer they would assume he wasn't serious about the game and he should give it away! The lad was just 16!

Ian Chappell says Wade has to go before the India series.....although I'd expect most of Lyons deliveries to end up in the stand anyway and stumpings will be rare.
I like Whiteman from WA if we had to go a replacement but I presume Nevill from NSW will get the job again,,,
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 12-17-2016
Wade was always going to have issues with the pink ball.
I doubt whether Nevill will be back; silent wicket keepers don't really suit our cricket.

I was surprised that Wade was picked for day-night tests when his issues with the pink ball are well known.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-17-2016
Neville?
How is picking an ageing statesmen moving the teams fortunes forward?
Many of our batsmen do not have the techniques required for the sub-continent so I suspect we will be smashed anyway. Why not find some new blood and expose them in a series we are unlikely to win anyway?

Does anyone pay any attention to what Chappell says? If ever a commentator was past his use by date it's young Ian.
Wade isn't the cleanest gloveman but he provides the glue that brings the team together. I think that is far more important than the odd fumble. If there was to be a change, I'd be tempted to give Handscomb the gloves, provided it wouldn't impact on his batting.
