Haddin is far from the best gloveman in the country, but he's the best batting keeper, therefore he's always the first picked in any second team or as Gilchrist's back-up.
Haddins innings today was sensational, exactly what I and many others expect from him and seems to have shut Jaymin and others up.
Tonight showed Haddin in all his glory, failed with the bat, batted like a complete idiot who didnt have a clue, went for his own glory instead of a simple throw to the bowler.
Brad Haddin will one day be given the hardest job in world cricket when the Australian selectors invite him to replace the great Adam Gilchrist as Australia's wicket-keeper batsman.
Haddin is a hard-hitting batsman in the Gilchrist mould, though as a character on the field he's more the stereotypical in-your-face Aussie loudmouth, forever asking after the whereabouts of the batsman's father.
Brad Haddin is the best gloveman in Australia and not far behind Adam Gilchrist in his ability to smash it to all parts when he bats.
