He is a better keeper than we have seen in the past 18 months but he needs to find his form soon. He is letting the side down with his sloppy work. Thankfully from his point of view he is in form with the bat. That can only work for so long though as his job is to keep wickets first.
I wrote after the away South Africa tour that Haddin's keeping is one of our biggest worries and i still believe that is the case even while watching some of this terrible bowling. His keeping today and in the last 12 months has been average at best and it needs to be fixed and fixed quickly. Thank god he is in form with the bat like you said, His footwork his sloppy and when he has to cover any ground he looks pretty ordinary, Those byes he let pass in the first session were pretty embarrassing IMO.
As for MJ today, well he seems to be falling into some of his old habits which is not good for Australia at all, Some of the rubbish he has dished up in the last 3 innings is unnacceptable from our "best bowler".
I fully agree. His job is to keep wickets and unless he improves this in a hurry he should be in trouble. He needs to be good at his number one job and right now he is pretty ordinary at it.
I'd prefer they pull Andrew Symonds out of a bar in the middle of a 6 month bender before Johnson to bowl at the moment. As i speak his first ball goes for 4 and his second (another long hop outside off) just gets cut off
