He played domestically forNew South Wales as a right-handedbatsman andwicket-keeper. Haddin was a member of the Australian World cup winning squad at both the2007 Cricket World Cup the2015 Cricket World Cup and played for theSydney Sixers in theBig Bash League.[2]
Haddin's family moved to Queanbeyan in 1989 when he was 12 and he played for theQueanbeyan District Cricket Club Juniors to the age of 15 before joining theAustralian National University Grade Cricket Club, representing 1st grade at age 16.[3] Haddin was selected in the first everMercantile Mutual Cup season of 1997–98 for theACT Comets, with whom he began his professional cricketing career. In the 1999–2000 season, he began playing for theNew South Wales Blues[4] to pursue further cricketing opportunities. Since then, he has produced several memorable batting innings, including a top score of 133 against Victoria. Haddin was signed by Chennai Super Kings in the 2010 IPL. In the2011 Indian Premier League season, Haddin was contracted byKolkata Knight Riders for US$325,000.
On 26 September 2012, Haddin scored a century in aSheffield Shield match against Tasmania at theBankstown Oval,[5] his first since his century in thefirst Ashes test against England in November 2010.[6]
In November 2015 Haddin made his return to theACT Comets for the first time since the 1998–99 season,[7] where he played a Futures League match and made a century in his first innings, ending on 104 off 100 balls, making him only the sixth player to score a century on debut.[8]
Haddin played forIslamabad United in thePakistan Super League held in theUAE in February 2016. He was retained by United's team management for2nd season.
In September 2003, Haddin replacedSimon Katich as captain of New South Wales, while Katich was on international duty, and he has since been acting-captain on numerous occasions. He has also captainedAustralia A. For most of his career Haddin was Australia A wicketkeeper but was drafted into thefull squad as back-up wicketkeeper in caseAdam Gilchrist was injured or rested. He made his international debut in a one-day international on 30 January 2001 againstZimbabwe in Hobart. He made one stumping and made 13 runs. He was demoted from second choice wicket keeper for Australia in 2001 byWade Seccombe and laterRyan Campbell, but reclaimed this position in late 2004. He was called up as part of Australia's2005 Ashes squad but was not used throughout the series.[9]
On 18 September 2006, playing againstWest Indies atKuala Lumpur in theDLF Cup, Haddin and Australian captainMike Hussey put on 165, which at that time was a world-record stand for the sixth wicket in ODIs.[10] After Gilchrist's retirement in early 2008, Haddin finally made his Test debut on 22 May against theWest Indies at Kingston, Jamaica,[11] becoming Australia's 400th Test cricketer.
Haddin was involved in a controversy relating to the dismissal ofNeil Broom in an ODI between Australia andNew Zealand in Perth in February 2009. Broom was given outbowled but replays clearly showed that Haddin's gloves had disturbed the bails. New Zealand captainDaniel Vettori expressed his dissatisfaction with Haddin's actions in not calling Broom back to the wicket. His comment led to an angry retort from Australian captainRicky Ponting. Ponting defended his teammate saying that Haddin was convinced the ball hit the stumps.[12] On 15 February 2009, Haddin became acting Australian captain for theTwenty20 against New Zealand after Ricky Ponting was rested andMichael Clarke was injured.
On 9 March 2010, in the third match of the 2009–10 Chappell-Hadlee One Day International series against New Zealand, Haddin scored his second ODI hundred, hitting 110 off 121 balls opening the Australian innings.[13] He was ruled out of the 2010 ODI series in England due to an elbow injury, which he claims flared up when he smashed that century against New Zealand in March.[14]
On 27 November 2010, in the opening match ofThe Ashes series 2010–11 at the Gabba, Brisbane, Haddin scored 136, his third test hundred, in a valuable innings that helped Australia to a commanding first innings lead. He went on in the series to collect 360 runs at an average of 45.00. He was dropped for Australia'sTwenty20 series against England in January 2011 in favour ofTim Paine, a decision which Haddin said had left him "confused".[15] He retired fromT20 internationals in September 2011, to focus on ODIs and Tests.[16] He was axed from the ODI team in January 2012 after a poor 2011 home season.[17] At this point, he remained the first choice wicket-keeper for Australia in Tests, but the emergence ofMatthew Wade threatened his place. Inevitably, in October 2012, Haddin was axed from the Test team, making way for Wade, although the national selectorJohn Inverarity stated that Haddin remained a "player of significant interest".[18]
Haddin was recalled to the Australia squad for the2013 Ashes series,[19] was named as vice-captain and selected as wicketkeeper for the first test. During the series, Haddin set a new record for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in a Test series with 29 dismissals, all caught.[20] Haddin was a member of the team which regained Ashes at Perth after four years. He famously said after the win "We've got them back!"[21]
