Message: [QUOTE="Clintos, post: 2249214, member: 2003"] The same can be said any fielder though. Everyone is under pressure. Everyone wants to take every ball that comes their way. Regardless of where I used to field, if I missed a ball or made a mistake I lost confidence. Every run counts mate. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure being a wicket keeper is a tough gig. My wicket keeping career lasted one game. Let's just say that it was mutually agreed that I would never don the gloves again. A wicket keeper worthy of Australian selection should be the best at his job, i.e wicket keeping. Batting should not come into it, especially in the test match format. I can see the merit in playing someone like Paine or Haddin in a ODI or Twenty20, but what's the point in a test match? As Coxy said, averaging 30 batting at number 7 is perfectly acceptable, and Hartley has really improved his batting consistency over the last 12 months. [/QUOTE]
