WTF???
When Wade was keeping for Victoria it was all about him being a spud and needing replacement with Neville or some other. Now he's a Tasmanian it's "Give him another chance!"
In the meantime Carey and Neville have failed to make inroads on Wade despite Wade's recent shield failures.
The irony for me, if Handscomb chooses to be keeper he'll get the job ahead of the others regardless. But it's probably a career dead end for Handscomb as it would almost certainly rule him out as Australian captain, a job he should have for the next decade replacing Smith!
Handscomb has made it very clear that he won't be keeping in tests. Apart from "hurting too much" he feels that keeping would stop him batting at 4 or earlier, and that's his preference.
Apparently Wade is likely to lose the Tassie gloves and play as a specialist batsman if he misses out on test selection.
