Haddin's two year plan

jrod November 24, 2008 (Cricket With Sticky Balls)
Brad Haddin is struggling.

Sure this makes me happy, but others are less so.

Especially Steve Rixon, his former teacher and coach.

He believes the pressure has gotten to Brad Haddin, and so that Australia don’t miss out on one of their best ever keepers, he should be given a 2 year run without the chance of being dropped.

RIXON YOU MAD MOFO.

If the dude can’t handle the pressure of test cricket and the selection process, why the...

Dhoni was so pissed that RP Singh was going to be dropped for Irfan Pathan, he apparently offered his resignation.

How do we know this, because it leaked.

How much more angry did this...
