Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[laj]

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.

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.
