Brad Haddin firmly in Australia’s plans – Cricket News Update
Despite given break from the initial phase of the upcoming tri series against India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969.
Haddin has been omitted from the first three bouts, which will see http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 handling the glove work for the national side. After retiring from T20 cricket in order to concentrate on the other two formats, the 34-year-old has been given extended time
out in order to gather himself, following intense limelight regarding his failures in both roles for the national team.
His keeping in the opening two Test matches against the Men In Blue were criticized but he bounced back with marked improvement, and while his batting frailties are still to be rectified, it is his leadership qualities, which makes him an inseparable entity
for the current Head Coach.
"Behind the stumps, the leadership he gives us is insurmountable and you can't put a price on that," Arthur told
ESPNcricinfo. "I'm comfortable with where Brad's at, yes we'd like more runs from him, but I'm really comfortable that Brad is on the right track.”
With the Kangaroos thumping the Indians by a 4-0 margin, it has provided reprieve to the old hands such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942. Haddin also is also a remnant of the same group, which is seen by many a basic foundation for the Aussies to achieve
success in the pioneer battle, known as the Ashes.
While Arthur kept a close tab on England’s humiliating losses to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, he was not keen on picking out the possible loop holes from the no.1 ranked team’s performance. He rather wants Haddin to remain an integral part of the team, which will play Poms
in 2013 – hoping to claim back their Ashes dominance.
“Yes we've got to get performance and nobody is guaranteed their position, but I'm very comfortable that Brad Haddin could potentially go forward to the Ashes series," added Arthur.
The Aussies will play two Twenty Internationals against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 – starting from Feb 1st before battling the tourists in the first Common Wealth match this Sunday.
