I didn't say he shouldn't be questioned, I said he should be down the list of the people who should be.
Aussie batsmen? Yes, maybe.
Aussie keeper-batsman after the retirement of one of their all-time greats who happened to be a freak of wicketkeeping-nature by being somewhat unprecedented and probably could've made the side on batting alone? No.
Haddin has had an okay start with the bat, but remember he's a wicket keeper first and foremost and his keeping has been up to standard, if not more. If he was averaging, say, 20, with more single figure scores than double digit, then I may agree with you.
He is yet to hit a 50 (bearing in mind he's had two innings declared on him when he's been on 45* and 35*...) and somehow still manages to average above 30, largely thanks to scores of 11, 23, 33, 7, 32, 45*, 33, 35*, 9, 37 and finally 17, which lowers it from 33 to 31.
Great, hand a cap to someone completely undeserving (given that most keepers in Sheffield Shield atm are relatively young, especially so compared to Haddin in experience) despite the incumbent not being at all bad (bar one brain explosion) and who is yet to play on the familiar pitches of his home country. Marvelous.
