Brad Haddin's cricket career in numbers

Brad Haddin’s cricket career in numbers: The former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Bradley James Haddin was a fierce competitor on the field and believed in giving the fight to the hilt as and when he donned the Baggy Green. The right-handed batsman was very aggressive behind the stumps as well as in-front of the stumps. After the retirement of Adam Gilchrist, he became the permanent Aussie glove-man. With the bat, Haddin possessed the destructive endeavors to deflate the opponents while his aptness of playing with the tail helped him bail out the Australian side from tricky situations.

Behind the stumps, Brad was a superman and took some of the most brilliant and awe-inspiring catches you would ever see. Haddin was very vocal from behind the stumps and belonged to that school of cricket where the players never believe in taking a step back.
