Could he be booking himself a tour to England here?

Paine scored more runs then him this season in both forms.

I just wondered because I've often heard people on here say he's the best gloveman in the states, and if he averages 40 this season too I wondered if that might push him forwards.
Edit: Hartley's actually scored loads more runs in the shield... 484 to Paine's 374.

Interesting thought Paine had a better season and didn't realise Hartley season was that good. Will be an interesting call who they go for as reserve keeper, if they pick one.

Manou's a better keeper and I think he has more runs (not sure though)

Two more runs, nice call.

Would certainly be more confident if Manou went on tour before Hartley. Hartley makes horrible, ugly and laboured runs whereas Manou makes confident and compact runs. Their keeping is pretty close but IMO Manou's better.

Keeping's nowhere near close. Hartley easily over Manou keeping wise (and I'm a big fan of Manou's). Great to see Hartley in the runs though, it's been coming for a few seasons.
It had to be predicted though. Love would score a century in his last game at the 'Gabba. For a guy that got robbed internationally he's had a great run in domestic. Love the guy. Good to see Symonds in the runs also.

Disagree strongly, Manou's an absolutely superb keeper.

Don't disagree. But, Hartley's the Superman of all keepers. So gun it's not funny.

Manou more consistent. Hartley takes more flashy (takes blinders and makes it look easy)

More consistent...pfft. Hartley takes regulation also as well as flashy. That's Superman in my books. For a short bloke he's got good reach.

He also still drops the odd regulation, Manou doesn't.

And all that keeping to spin that Hartley's had to do over the years...
Mister Wright

Yeah. It's not like Manou's had to do much keeping to spin either. Simpson spins them more than Cullen and Bailey.

More than Bailey? lawl

Ever seen Bailey bowl?
Seriously the guy spins it a mile.

Yeah, cause that's a really important criteria for keeping for this Australian side.
