Wisden overview
Brad Haddin, a one-time Australian Under-19 captain, is a model of the new style of wicketkeeper, whose batting is at least as vital to his game as his glovemanship. Haddin began with the Australian Capital Territory, is now with New South Wales and has already played a one-day international, as well as flying in and out of India to relieve Adam Gilchrist in a tour match. He is a dashing front-foot batsman who makes his runs quickly, and a competent rather than spectacular keeper who will improve. Lawrence Booth
