didnt he just make it into the side? i think you would need to be more than a regular to get into the aus team

It was a bit tongue-in-cheek mbuck. He has been massively dissapointing over the last few years, but has always had the potential with the bat. Nothing wrong with his keeping. I bet if this poll were run 2-3 years ago, Clingeleffer would be 2nd behind Haddin.

13 votes for Crosthwaite - He's as good a wicky as White is a Leg Spinner !

That's a load of crud. Cameron Whites bowling is far supirior to Crosthwaites keeping! I've seen Crossy bamboozled by Whites bowling a number of times this season.

Mathew Wade from Tasmania looks like he'll be our #1 keeper in the near future. It looks like if we want to keep him we'll need to let one of our other keepers go. My money is for Paine to play as a batter and Wade as the keeper.

Paine will be the long term Tassie keeper... he'd have to be pretty handy with gloves and willow to dislodge him I'd think.

Tim Paine had big wraps on him when he was 20, and hasn't let anyone down so far.

Matty Wade has huge wraps on him. He's 19 and Tasmania can't afford to let a tallent like this slip away. We don't have a big enough population to become complacent like that.

Last season I earmarked Paine for big things, this season I earmarked Bailey for big things. Wade is the next big thing coming through, next season keep your eye out for him.

Tim Paine is god

Haddin for mine. With Hartley the next option.
Paine lost his batting when given the gloves for the longer game. Maybe from being so young, or maybe he just needs to drop down the order when he takes the wicketkeeping role. Just like Gilchrist, open in the short game, down the order for the real game.

crossy should be worried about making the state team first

The_Reaper · Oct 12, 2007

Depends on when Gilchrist retires. If he retires at the end of the summer Haddin will be the obvious selection. If he hangs around for a few more years it will be a younger bloke. I hope Ronchi gets the gig but both Paine and Hartley would be worthy selections.

Paine needs to concentrate on batting at number 7 first. He won't make the test team as an opener

foxdog50 · Oct 13, 2007

At the start when i did this poll i was for Crosthwaite, but know iv change to Ronchi

Cousin Jed · Oct 13, 2007

Adam Crosthwaite got 25% of the votes?

He must have alot of family members on bigfooty.

DeadlyAkkuret · Oct 13, 2007

If Haddin isn't our next keeper it'll be a disgrace. He's been waiting in the wings for years now, and has been performing too, he deserves his chance to be our #1 keeper once Gilly retires. FFS he's not even an option on the poll!

My bad, i didn't read the first post. The title is misleading.

Isn't Haddin only 29?

Matt Wade is about to make a ton on debut at 19 y.o.

shoe in.

on that WACA pitch...

and who was bowling?

Paine is far down the list. He needs to get a game as keeper in first class matches and bat at number 7 in sheffield shield. He will never be selected to open in tests if he is keeping

However Wade must be allowed to complete a few games before we can start talking him up. A half century on debut is good but look at the redbacks bowling attack. Cosgrove was bowling at first change.

You bag Paine..which has its merits, then you say Cossie was bowling first change! Same friken thing! Both had average bowling attacks!

And didn't Clingeleffer makes tons in his first two games, at age 18?
