Haddin or Nevill

[tedsheppard]

Haddin's batting is going. Also, I think it showed heaps of immaturity to absolutely throw his wicket away like he did in the second innings at Cardiff. Considering it rained the day after, all he needed to do was block it but nope he needed to essentially hack. Anyway thats just my thoughts what do you guys think???

Not many left on the Haddin train anymore

If Nevill doesn't do anything daft in England's second innings I'd back him to keep the spot.

His batting style seems to better balance the Aussie lineup, and he looked good with the gloves.

tbf nev has thrown his wicket away in 100% of his Test innings.

wait for this match to finish first

Would imagine Nevill will play the rest of this series barring injury and given his age there would be no way back for Haddin regardless of who takes the gloves in the Australian summer.

tbf in the situation he was half expect to

 

[Justo]

Nevill for life.

haha yeah i wasn't being too serious. obviously it was a much better time to throw it away than at 7/20.

I voted for Rad, and bring back Shane Watson too, not sure what either did to deserve being dropped.

 

[Riggins]

bring back marto too

Unless Haddin was also tapped on the shoulder or otherwise told prior to withdrawing he should come back into the team. Nevill hasn't done enough to overturn selection policy.

Ignoring good selection policy I'd rather see Nevill in the team.

This isn't a new development. Think Hobart 2011 and the god awful shots from memory he played in both innings, I think particularly the 2nd he just tried to hack everything. I'm sure he would tell you it was hit out or be got out. And even worse, the charge and nick second ball (?) in that capitulation to 21-9 in SA a few years back.

But it's all hot air because if Haddin is available they'll pick him.

 

[Shady Slim]

nevill now

 

[vic_orthdox]

At 5/80 I think I'd rather Nevill out there. Especially not in Australia.

 

[Tangles]

I can also see Haddin getting a recall if available. Wasn't actually dropped so the selectors never had to make the tough call.

 

[turnstyle]

Haddin.

Was never dropped so will get his spot back but one more failure in a losing cause would probably see him off. Was never a fan. Didn't think he was any better than Ryan Campbell.

 

[Furball]

I know it's far from ideal but I really don't get why you'd want to go back to Haddin as a selector.
