Although not exactly of the same caliber, Brad Haddin was a fairly good replacement to Adam Gilchrist when Australia were looking for a dashing wicket-keeper batsman post Gilly's retirement. In fact, if it weren't for the latter's prowess in the years gone by, Haddin would certainly have debuted earlier in international cricket. A proactive batsman particularly strong square of the wicket, Haddin was very agile behind the stumps and took quite a few phenomenal diving catches during his time in Australian colors. Haddin usually reserved his best for crunch situations - his Ashes heroics especially in the 2013-14 series at home come to mind - due to his immense self belief and mental strength. His style of batting ensured that Haddin was a good fit in all three formats.
