He's not the best in Australia, but he's not useless. If you're a useless keeper you wouldn't even be keeping for your state. And I don't know about anyone else but I've never heard someone call him scissor hands.There is a very good reason he's called Scissorhands.
And Healy was picking him to pieces, so uhmmmm....yeah, Wade is useless.

I was only thinking about that the other day mate - Chris Hartley has been desperately unlucky I think to have played during the Gilchrist/Haddin era. He's now played 127 First Class matches, averages just over 33 with the bat and has claimed 553 dismissals. That's a remarkable record. To top it off, he's filling in as captain in the current Shield match against South Australia!Saw it just now, pretty poor from WADE.
Lucky it didn't cost us much.
Just on keepers I think HARTLEY is one of the best glove man going around still, just never got his chance.
It's against Western Australia MattyI was only thinking about that the other day mate - Chris Hartley has been desperately unlucky I think to have played during the Gilchrist/Haddin era.

Meanwhile, Nevill doing well in SS.
The Cricket Australia website has Nevill listed as the keeper on the "Final XI" in the match centre. Even without their Test players it's a pretty good NSW batting line-up: Hughes, Cowan, Patterson, Henriques, Nevill and Carters in the top six.So who is keeping for NSW? Neville is batting at 5, Carters at 6
NSW vs VIC at Coffs Harbour was better, waiting to see if SA would get the final at home hahaThe Cricket Australia website has Nevill listed as the keeper on the "Final XI" in the match centre.

I reckon CA should be applauded for live streaming the Shield games each round - the SA vs WA nail biter at the Adelaide Oval last season was gripping viewing @Keatoboy

Well said Matt, I was a doubter but I'm very glad to say he proved me wrong! Would love to see more of himThe kid has copped enormous criticism in some quarters following that innings, which to me reflects our modern "troll" society. It is hardly surprising that a twenty year-old debutant is going to struggle to score freely against probably the best pace bowling attack in the world - one which had reduced the Australian Test team to an object of ridicule and derision just a fortnight or so previously.
Without Reshaw negotiating a tough period and Thursday night, this Test might have seen a very different result. When you add to that his sheer bloody-mindedness to see Australia home yesterday, to me it adds up to an outstanding debut Test.
Go "Renny" Renshaw, you good thing!!
