There is a keeper who is better than Haddin, and that it Christ Hartley from the bulls. He is miles ahead of anyone in the pure keeping sense, but his batting hasn't been all the great over the last 2 years. He had an awesome 2009/2010 season where he was named player of the year, but has struggled a bit of late. It's kind of strange because he absolutely dominated first grade cricket this year, but it just didn't carry over to the First Class side of things.
Wade will improve his keeping and batting. He can be like Prior, whose keeping wasn't the best, but he worked hard on it and is now the best keeper/batsmen in the world. I'm sure (and hoping) Wade will work hard and hopefully he will be the same.
The game against NZ was a joke really, the ball moved as much in the 80th over as it did in the first. Well, that maybe a slight exaggeration, but it was still bloody green.
Still a ways to go, but they are definitely moving in the right direction. With a bunch of promising young fast bowlers to develop, and hopefully some batsmen too, Australia is looking in a good place.
