The incumbent gloveman has been in the firing line following a string of sub-standard performances with both the gloves and bat prompting questions about his place in the Test team.
Haddin dropped the wicket of opener Gautam Gambhir on day three of the Sydney Test and followed the fumble with a dropped edge from Sachin Tendulkar which was caught on the rebound by Mike Hussey at slip.
While Australia powered to an innings defeat of taking the series to a 2-0 deficit, the 34-year-old who took over from superstar gloveman Adam Gilchrist in 2008 is trying to remain positive despite battling a rough patch.
“It’s obviously disappointing to miss chances we’d just gone up an extra metre to make sure the ball was going to carry and it flew up and it was one of those things that happens in cricket,” Haddin told 2KY.
“It obviously dents your confidence a bit but from my point of view it happens in cricket, you’ve got to get back on the horse and show what sort of person you are and keep throwing punches.”
With heir apparent Tim Paine injured indefinitely, Haddin said rather than review the vision or speak with coach Mickey Arthur to make sure there are no repeat mistakes, the best thing to do is simply move on.
“The biggest thing is you don’t over analyse it,” he said.
“It happens as a wicketkeeper you just don’t want to make a habit of it. It was just one of those things in the game.
“I actually saw it pretty early and probably moved too fast.
“The train goes onto Perth and let’s hope it’s a better performance there.”
Leading the summer series 2-0, Australia’s upcoming dalliance with India is set for Perth and Haddin is hoping for some carry in the wicket.
“For the last few years it’s basically been a pretty good batting wicket,” he said.
“I think it will offer us a little bit more bounce and I think with Ryan (Harris) coming back he will definitely try to find that extra bit of bounce.
“It’s an enjoyable place for myself to play and I know our bowlers are really looking forward to having a crack over there.”
While the quick wicket could result in Michael Clarke selecting four speedsters, leaving the spinner stranded, Haddin expects Nathan Lyon to be retained for the Third Test.
“He likes to have that option with a spinner,” Haddin said.
“Nathan Lyon is a very good cricketer but he’s also a developing cricketer so its very important for us to keep developing him and giving him opportunities to keep getting better and better because he’s going to be a long term spin option.”
