Yep, and when teams pick a keeper based mostly on batsmanship, or make a batsman keep, it ends badly.

What people tend to forget is that Healy was an excellent keeper and particularly to spin and we had this bloke called Warne and the lnock of n Gilchrist at the tome was he keeping to spin

Kuhnemann to Tasmania... bad move imo.. Tasmania and spinners don't mix.

The left-arm spinner took 5 for 16 against India last year but has had precious little first-class cricket since then

And it's better for all the top spinners playing than not.
Still better than not playing any shield games at all at Qld, which has been the case for a number of years for him nowKuhnemann to Tasmania... bad move imo.. Tasmania and spinners don't mix.

Freeman is having time off too. Smart move to play regularly.
Kuhnemann is a very good bowler and should be in the ODI & IT20 squad.
I'd argue a better bowler than Swepson period.
I would not say he is better. Just depends what you want. Dour and persistent vs a bit of flight and variety.

Agree with this. Swepson will cause more problems for opposition bats but will also leak more. I think Kuhnemann is a better partner for Murphy if we're putting him as number 2 right now and Lyon's successor.
In a world where Green could send down 12 overs a day, I would pair Murphy with one of Swepson or Kuhnemann on most pitches.

Especially if Marsh can maintain form for a few more years. Will extend the life of Cummins, Haze and Starc too
No JFM in the Redbacks Shield Team
Jason Sangha moves states but is in South Australia's second XI.
Unsure why he’s not in the 2’s my mail was he wasn’t selected for the Shield

Yeah but letting him leave Victoria was a mistake we're gonna regret for the next 15 years according to eddiesmith despite rocking up to pre season unfit, choosing to get on the piss and play golf when he's supposed to be doing rehab and being a dick to many players in the squad.
No mistake and as long as he’s got people blowing smoke up he’s ass he’s nit going to change his ways
The bolded is far from prohibitive to being a successful professional cricketer.

152 from Sam Konstas today, big wraps on this lad.
The only knock is that “they” had similar on Maddinson and Sangha - performance is the only thing that matters and he’s started brilliantly
That's not a knock on Konstas. That's a knock on Maddinson and Sangha.
