yeah Neville is definitely behind Paine and probably Wade to in the minds of the selectors, agree he should be next in line though and a good shield season this year and he could be up there.
The frustrating thing about the way keepers seem to be selected in this country is it's usually on the back of batting performances first and then keeping ability, not saying the selectors don't take glovework into account, they clearly do but it seems to me the selectors only start to take note of a keeper if he first has a good season with the bat, then they start to asses his keeping ability. Wade and Hartley are a pretty good example of this, Hartley should always have been ahead of Wade imo but its only since Harley's batting has improved that the selectors may have considered he's actually the better keeper.

He played for batting practice. No-one cares about the result.

So if there is play tomorrow I guess we bat till lunch to give KP a bit of time in the middle then declare to give enough time for Broad to have 2/3 spells in the afternoon.

Broad.
On a side note, how good is that MasterCard ad with the little fella playing pirates? Fmd it's a cracker. The look on his dial when he sees the old bloke with the patch over his eye is fantastic.
Predict a golden summer for him.
Oh, and it has Alison Cratchely in it as the MILF mum too

I'm fairly sure Butch is only there to break Colville and Cork up when it comes to fisticuffs.
