Haddin and Wade are the keepers, unless Wade injures himself in the next couple of match.

Haddin has been booked to go to the Windies.
That is pretty much what everyone is hearing atm.

I wish I had a chance to see Nevill :( I seem to have missed him all season :(. Everyone who has seen him argues he is a genuine keeper with great batting talent, the collective yelp for him, with very little genuine negative feedback (as in those who have seen him) would suggest he really should be in consideration.

Also hartley probably like berry, an outstanding wicketkeeper who was unfairly judged on his average batting. Would probably have been a real choice in previous generations.

yeah i wouldn't be picking cummins at all.

i know it's tempting and he's an unreal talent, but just show some patience for the next 9 or so months. he could be a big factor in us trying to get the ashes back.

as for jackson bird, pace will be his query at the next level. brilliant start to his career though. just another in the log jam of quick bowlers. still woudl have him below faulkner and coulter nile. lets see if he is still keeping it up through next season. could be suited to english conditions though.

Consider the current high levels of quality quicks, reckon that McDermott will get a go before Cutting. Unfortunately Cutting whilst doing really well over the last 18 months is still a fair way down the pecking order. But at least he is above Johnson

Assuming all fit current Test bowling quicks in order of selection.
1. Siddle
2. Hilfenhaus
3. Pattison
4. Cummins
5. Starc - don't know why but selection has shown this to be true
6. Coulter-Nile
7. Cutting

With ya there - Liam Davis is in form, and looking at what the selectors have been doing theyre choosing players in form. Has been solid all year. Great number 3. Voges is class too. Think Forest should go though. Windies would be perfect exposure for him with the Ashes looming. Put him in the deep end at number 3. Sink or swim.

As for Harris, I get the feeling its a straw willl break the camels back scenario. Any moment he will break down. With so much depth around we can afford to let him go in favour of youth.

As for Haddin....Hasbin.

I like this one the best. Although I admit I'm not a big fan of Beer.
