Paine might miss the boat

Obviously (to all but the NSP) it's time for Haddin to go.

Paine has just re-broken his finger and will miss the first Sheffield Shield match of the season.

Wade and Hartley should be licking their chops at the prospect of a Test debut. I would favour Wade at this stage.

Methinks the stammering Dubber will hang on for a bit yet.

end of this series should see him off

Ryan Carters is highly rated.

what's his experience so far? which state will he play for? etc?

He's a comet turned vomit

signed to one of their Big Wank teams

"A wicketkeeper from Canberra, Ryan Carters made the move to Victoria ahead of the 2009-10 season and was immediately considered the next in line behind the regular gloveman Matthew Wade. Carters had been given an unusual opportunity in January 2009, when he filled in behind the stumps for New Zealand in the Prime Minister's XI match, when Brendon McCullum was injured. He played one Twenty20 match for Victoria in January 2010 and the following summer made his first-class and one-day debuts. In his maiden first-class outing, against the touring England side, he made 68 as an opener, and he played three Sheffield Shield games later in the season as a specialist batsman. He added another half-century, again at the top of the order, and will aim to make the opening spot his own in 2011-12. "

he should move over your way, embee; more opportunities ...

So Riki Wessels is totally out of the picture?

not for keepers

we have at least two in the u19s who are top shelf ...not to mention wrongkey's current understudy Michael Johnson

Bancroft & Whiteman are both highly rated

wrong thread - you probably meant to put this on the thread about English reserve keepers

the implication Taips is making is that Wessels could potentially be eligible to play for three different countries (South Africa, England, Australia).

...and the first two have already told him to farque off and the third is asking if he thinks he can spin the ball

Don't think he is eligible for SA. Was travelling on an Aussie passport which is why he couldn't Kolpak and got chucked out of CC. Not quite sure how he weaseled back in.

Goodness, I would never have guessed

Goodness gracious me.

Ronchi?

Ronchi - finished

Sent back to NZ?

Or succumbed to breathing difficulties?

Whatever happened to your deputy keeper Manou btw?

Seem to be a lot of wannabee Oz keepers floating around the Shield ...

I guess you can rely on kiwikipedia

Manou retired ... he was at the end of his career when he got the unexpected gig in England in 2009

They're falling like flies.

Time flies.

He suddenly lost form completely and has never really got it back.

For some reason, I read that as Mitchell Johnson.

I thought: That's a bit harsh.

yep, he did ... he might have been chosen above Haddin, but Haddin caught that boat, and there won't be another one for Ronchi
