Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Surely this is bollocks. Renshaw has done nothing wrong at test level, and should be a walk up for the first test. 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.

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.
