Who actually keeps for Tassie... Paine or Wade?
Wade has been keeping but it was announced that he would play as a batsman if he lost his test spot.

It really sends a message to kids who are planning to be 1st class keepers.
None of the other keepers could make a run to save themselves on form right now. As important as keeping is you need to make some decent runs otherwise you have one long tail, especially with Marsh in the side. Paine's just about the best with the gloves anyway.

I reckon that is bang on.
They are looking at Whiteman long term

Got my man Tim Paine. God keeper/bat and character. Best fit for sure.
Bancroft Incan understand but Shaun Marsh? Give me a spell!!!

I think when Langar takes over as National coach, Whiteman if fit will take over the gloves, think he is a Yorkshireman by birth
so England may also be an option for him if he gets overlooked.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 11-20-2017
I'd be interested in Whiteman: he is a good bat and a talented keeper. But we'll see what happens.

Stoinus should be in at 6. We miss a 4th seamer and he is also a viable batting option. Kawaja should be replaced by Smith and Lehmann bats 4

Can't agree. His form has been poor.
Where Hodgey?

Khawaja averages 63 in Australia and has been in brilliant form for Queensland. No way you play Lehmann ahead of him.

Like Stoinis to do it eventually but only after more Shield games with good scores. He got 22 of 18 balls in his only game doing the team thing but was going for the slog given the point of the innings they were at. Hopefully his one day form translates into 4-5 day form eventually.
