Brad Haddin has been out of form.
His drop of Joe Root in the first Ashes Test at Cardiff cost Australia about 130 odd runs.
His batting has been woeful since the 2013 Ashes in the UK. In fact, in that time, Nathan Lyon averages about the same as him.
For personal reasons, Haddin made himself unavailable for the Lord’s Test that the Aussies won by 405 runs.
Peter Nevill was his replacement. He looked sharp behind the poles, held onto his chances and made a beautiful 45 with the bat.
Has time passed Haddin by or should he be an automatic inclusion for the 3rd Test? He has made himself available.
Haddin v Nevill.

DennisCricket_ Yep pmnevill should stay for Edgbaston at least to prove he’s the right replacement for Haddin. Maybe not yet, but soon.
DennisCricket_ must stay with Nevill, he looks ready now. Haddin deserves a final farewell Test in Australia, but time to move on.
Nevill
Nifty Nev.
I’m ready for Brad Haddin to be thanked and given his gold watch, I really liked the look of Nevill. However contrary to what you said Nevill did drop one very difficult chance (or let it touch the ground after he caught it), and let another one go between him and wide first slip that he probably should have taken himself.
Nevil
Should be Neville.
Will be Haddin.
Nevill. Hads has served his country well but it’s time to move on and spend more time with the family.
Team Neville. Look as long as they are from NSW it is OK.
He is Victorian
Plays for NSW. Therefore he plays for Australia.
I am torn, love Hadds and would like to see him have a last test before being replaced but agree Neville did well.
