Heard an interview where his family was travelling with him. Probably misinterpreted it though.

yeah but the two post contradict each other, no?
I mean if his family is here why would he go home if it's what we're expecting?

If they were here he'd already be with them not at Lord's if it is what we fear.
Just keeping fingers crossed we all jumped the gun here and it not what we think.

If there was something urgently wrong the last thing I'd want to do is spend a day getting from London to Sydney.

All the same it could very well mean the end for Hadds. If Nev comes in and performs even competently with some tidy glovework and some handy runs it would be pretty hard to see any reason to rush Haddin back. Almost impossible if we get a win up.
In some ways it's done the selectors a favour, but Rad has been a great servant for the cause. Hopefully if it is the end then that is the last of the bad news for him and his family.

Good article that.
I'm still not convinced on Nev with the bat, but that's probably more from his Victorian days.

Yeah, quick light feet. Didn't really sweep though, maybe a little lap a la his ramp, which he's very good at.
We all used to just bowl straight, set straight fields and then he'd start playing square around his pads to get off strike, LBW chance.

Australia could probably use the change in the batting line-up. If I'm not mistaken Nevill is a bit more of an accumulator than Haddin, and Australia's mid/low order of Watson-Haddin-Johnson-Starc has too many shot makers and not enough players that look to occupy the crease and get in.

Seeing Nev with red ink wouldn't surprise at all. 18 not outs in 80 innings is pretty high especially when you consider he's spent a fair amount of time at either 6 or opener for NSW in the Shield. Should be a guy you can rely on to get some good returns from the tail if his Shield efforts are anything to go by.

Yeah agree big time with this, Even if Watson is replaced by marsh it's the same issue.

You do only have about 6 Tests between numbers 5 - 7 in the batting order, which England would be pretty keen to get their teeth into.

One thing about Nevill - he's the best junior/grade keeper I've seen, but a lot of those skills aren't necessarily relevant to what a good Test wicket-keeper requires.
You aren't keeping up to medium pacers in Test cricket.
Express pace and the ball moving after the stumps.
You are always keeping on first day wickets in junior/grade cricket.
