Brad Haddin Sets Sights On Playing World Cup Safe hands: Jonny Bairstow is caught behind by Brad Haddin during the Durham Test. He will be well past his 37th birthday by the time it rolls around but as Brad Haddin approaches a tilt at a world record in the Ashes he has set his sights on playing until the next World Cup in Australia. While the records threatened by Michael Clarke's team this year have been mostly unwanted ones the veteran wicketkeeper is closing on another mark: he needs three more catches in the final Test at the Oval to equal the all-time record in a series of 28 held by legendary gloveman Rod Marsh, who is also the current tour selector in England. Going nowhere: Brad Haddin. It says plenty, though, about Australia's predicament that when asked about the looming shot at a world record Haddin's first response was: "For losing?" Clarke's side will become the first Australian team to lose four matches in England in a series if they are beaten again at the Oval. Haddin's indifference then at being told his 25 grabs for the series had him equal third on the list behind Marsh's haul from the 1982/83 Ashes was understandable. "I wasn't aware of that at all," he said. I'd take that back for a win. You don't play for them. When they come along it's a nice achievement but I'd take a few wins over that. You don't go into games looking for personal achievements, you go in to win. When you tick those milestones off on the way it's obviously flattering but it's also pretty hollow if you don't win any cricket games. From that point of view I'd love to win this one moving forward to Australia. The 35-year-old's Ashes campaign has featured some athletic, diving catches, although they have not all stuck: the ball that sailed past his gloves at Lord's when England's opener Joe Root was on eight proved costly. Root went on to score 180 and Australia was thrashed. His time out of the Australian set-up, though, appears to have fuelled the fire to play on longer. Haddin's international career looked to be as good as over 16 months ago when he returned home from the Caribbean for family reasons, and with Matthew Wade scoring a hundred in his first Test series, was usurped by the Victoria 'keeper in a third format. But not only has he since resumed the Test job, and vice-captaincy of the team, he wants the one-day gig back for the World Cup, an indication that he has no plans to walk away from the international game any time soon. I think I've still got a lot of cricket left in me [from] now to the 2015 World Cup. So I'm keen to play there," Haddin said. Wade remains the first-choice limited-overs 'keeper for Australia, and will stay in England for the Twenty20 and one-day games that follow the Ashes while Haddin heads home after more than three months on tour. But after featuring in three ODIs last summer - his first outing in the format since he was dumped for Wade a year before - the staging of the tournament in Australia in 2015 is a key motivation for him to play on. "I feel comfortable with where my keeping is at, it's felt especially good the last couple of games," he said. It wasn't where I wanted it to be after Lord's but it's back to the rhythm that I've been keeping for the last few years. But all of that is irrelevant. We've just got to find some runs out of all of us, me included, and we've got to find a way to win. We've got ourselves into positions to win, we just haven't won the big moments and that's why we're down 3-0.
