TIme for smithy

yes it is.

[Hawka]

hmm on the cricket show stve waigh proposed an interesting idea put paine and haddin in the same team
i like that idea alot cos paine would b able to bat beat then hughes,clarke and punter and has been tointed as a futre captain and u could put him at slip all the time until haddin reitres

thought

[CrowsFan]

Interesting idea, but can Paine catch without gloves on? :P

[Hawka]

well brendan mcmullm no longer keeps all the time for NZ and he is fine at slip

[Cicjose]

Where are all the newcomers and the much needed injection of youth tho??????

[RiOtChEsS]

what was Ricky thinking arguing with the ump? is he looking for an easy way out?

Paine is a better keeper than Haddin, Haddin is a better keeper than Paine, we would be better off playing Haddin as a specialist batsman IMHO.

[roo boys!]

Yeah that was a good throw.

I'm guessing you mean Paines a better keeper and Haddins a better batsman? if so I agree.

+1 haddin is good enough to play as a specialist batsmen (compared to the rest of the order we have atm  :P)

[Alex7089]

Yeah Haddin could bat at 4, then we could move Clark to 5 with Huss at 6 and I have no clue at 3 ???

[Justin Bieber]

I would say Hussey at 3 or 4 and Haddin straight after him. Clarke gets moved down until he gets back into form, in which he could go to 3 maybe?

Katich and Watson surely the openers. Maybe try Paine or Kawaja (have no clue on spelling) in the side also ::). C'mon the selectors, a dud batting series with Watson, Hussey and Haddin being the only decent ones.
