Ronchi and Hartley would be infront of Crostwaite and possibly even Paine. Ronchi I suspect will be our ODI keeper in the future straight swap for Gilly and if he gets consistent enough straight swap for Gilly in Test side and thats our keeping spot wrapped up for a good 5 years at least.

I agree that Ronchi and Hartley are ahead, but Crosthwaite is a better keeper IMO, batting needs to improve though. I think Haddin will be the immediate replacement if Gilly retires within 2-3 years, otherwise I'd tip Hartley or Ronchi. I like Hartley personally.aussie1st said:

I think India have a lot of fine prospects coming up. I haven't been following the junior league closely but we have a few batting prospects also coming up. Ambati Rayudu is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

I like Hartley's ability, not necessarily his results.langerrox said:
And Paine has done less, he isn't even a keeper, he keeps in OD games only, and has only had a few good games. Haddin is the clear replacement right now, he's in great form. We can't take the England path and pick someone who is a decent batsman but not a good keeper. Gilchrist is a freak, and no one should be expected to match his results.

Paine has been keeping for Tassie in both comps, but his batting dropped right off after he started doing so, prompting them to reinstate Clingeleffer.
He will make the team, but not necessarily as a wicket keeper. 22 year olds simply don't make double hundreds and not go anywhere.
