Yes but he would average 5 with the bat in test cricket!
Hartley's batting is nothing flash, but he does the job when the team needs it the most.
I agree. I'm a firm believer in picking the best XI at any given point in time.

That doesn't change my stance on Hartley. I'd prefer Haddin remained as Australia's keeper for now, and I fully expect Whiteman to put pressure on him for his spot before too long.
If they think Whiteman's ready, I'm happy for him to get the job. But it would be a massive shame for Hartley to never play a test. Probably just a decade too late- he's more the Healy style of keeper/batsman.

What's the ruling here? Does the umpire need evidence beyond all reasonable doubt that the batsman had any part of his foot behind the line or does the batsman need to show something behind the line? If that makes sense.
