While he was much maligned, a very good player for Aus over the years.

Haddin was an excellent keeper batsmen for many years. That dropped catch set the tone for the series and probably the course for his decision.

Well done Haddin on a great career and thank you!

Like most he could drive me crazy with his shot selection and costly drops but he's been a good servant of Aus cricket for a long time. I thought he spoke very well in his presser, pretty humble bloke. One of the cleanest strikers of the ball I've seen.

For all the other stats nerds who just needed to know: Brad Haddin becomes the fourth Australian to retire with 9900+ first class runs.

Player | Span | Runs | Avge | Highest | 100s
\Andrew Hilditch|1976-1992|9962|37.87|230|20
\John Dyson|1975-1989|9935|40.22|241|19
\Brad Haddin|1999-2015|9931|38.04|169|17
\Herbie Collins|1909-1926|9924|40.01|282|32

that's pretty impressive

he truly had a great career.

Not sure I understand what you mean by that stat. Do you mean fourth to retire between 9,900 and 10,000? Because there are tons of guys with 9,900+. Rogers has something like 25,000.

Yeah all the guys that played a heap of county would have done it. The Cox, DiVenuto, Law type guys right through to the Husseys, Hodge and Rogers. Let alone Punter, Steve Waugh etc.

Is it specifically Shield runs or NSW Shield runs maybe? Find it hard to believe some of the 90s batsman who missed out on playing many Tests wouldn't have topped Haddin though. He's a very good player but I can't see him having broken many genuine records (that you don't have to be really specific about).

He holds a bunch of records for NSW. I think he also holds the Australian record for most ODD runs by a wicketkeeper.

I reckon that would be a certainty. Ryan Campbell would have scored a few but Haddin probably doubles anyone else since all the other long term state keepers were ordinary with the bat.

edit: Wade might be getting up there. The format change would make it tougher for anyone to chase it down.

That's good stuff. Obviously a big step away from 'third most first class runs ever' which can't be right. He's been a great player though and is bashed a lot more then he deserved.

Great career. Probably my all time most frustrating Aussie Test cricketer as a supporter though.

Sorry about that, chief.
Yes I did mean between 9,900 and 10,000.
