Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 11-16-2017

Paine hasn't kept in the last 2 games, how can he possibly be named as the nations keeper? Shaun Marsh? Really? This is like a real life test of can nepotism really ever overcome lack of ability. FFS
Renshaw's simply not making runs, Bancroft is playing a mile better and is in brilliant form. Paine kept for Australia in the T20's this year and was very clean. Also kept and made 52 for the CA XI against England, including Broad and Anderson, prior to making 71no in the current Shield home. Question you have to ask, of the keepers, who is paying better? Easy answer is no-one as none of the others can make a run to save themselves. Can only pick on form and Paine is the only one who has any.
As for S. Marsh, that baffles me as he has been a consistent failure in the Test side. More importantly, the incumbent, Glenn Maxwell, has made a pair of 60's and a 45no in 3 of his last 4 innings, so that baffles me.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-16-2017
Agreed, the Renshaw call is sensible and he will get another chance.
Paine is a bloody good cricketer.
Marsh... That's mate's looking after mates. So much for advancement by merit. CA... Clean up your act.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-16-2017
Some blokes fail a hundred times and make a fifty at the appropriate moment to get a look in, others make hundreds every second time they bat but never get an opportunity.
I'll never understand it, because it's not about form or moneyball type stats.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-16-2017
I don't like the Marsh selection at all......Callum Ferguson derserved another go before Marsh. he was sacrificed to wolves last time.
Paine lucky......which makes up for the years of bad luck that should have seen him the #1 keeper years ago.

Callum Ferguson on form could've been a good selection. While the other two selections make sense, S.Marsh is lucky. Better off picking an all rounder than Marsh given they'd make probably more runs and could bowl too.

Happy for Paine for that reason - but it is unexpected.
Who actually keeps for Tassie... Paine or Wade?

Wade.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-17-2017
Paine's selection proves to me that if Handscomb wants the gloves he's got them, they have opted for a Batsmen / Keeper instead of one of the young Keeper / Batsmen going around.
It really sends a message to kids who are planning to be 1st class keepers.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 11-17-2017
Sam Whiteman would have been my choice but he is injured for the season.....Paine is a stop gap IMO....

Paine is Australia's T20 keeper. Reckon he's the best gloveman too.
