Like I said, he's better than the alternatives, even if his form and technique is a bit s**t. He is arguably the best fielder in Australia, alongside Maxwell. When Ponting was making ducks for fun, he was persisted with because he offered a lot in the field.Whilst I'd pass on Wade, Maxwell I would actually happily select myself and I'm sure I've said this many, many times. I'm only calling out the ludicrous hyperbole over him being overlooked, there are valid reasons either way.
As for Lead Boots you would make a good captain, hanging on with him and going down with the sinking ship is very brave.
