Paine is the best candidate only injury has cost him of 50 tests.
We'll never know but to include him on the basis of what could or should have been is just another example that the selectors have all outstayed their welcome.

Who else is there Wade is not a test standard keeper.

No he's better than Wade not Paine. Paine is a very good gloveman.
Nevill is the best gloveman in the country. Paine doesn't even keep for his state.

It's a desperation decision and sums up the selectors in recent times.

Australia aren’t going to win 5-0
 
Adelaide will be paradise for the poms with a duke ball under lights. Melbourne can be a lottery. Sydney who knows what the weather will be like. Perth a draw most likely. Brisbane the only one I think that is nearly a Garuntee win
Why would they have a Duke ball?

Because the poms demanded it and cricket the spineless twits Australia bowed to their demands
Why did Anderson say he's looking forward to trying out the pink Kookaburra in adelaide then?
