If Peter Nevill is being considered for a promotion to No.6 for this week's first Test against the West Indies in Hobart, it's news to him.
The Australian gloveman's form has fuelled speculation he will leapfrog out-of-sorts allrounder Mitch Marsh in the batting order for the three-Test opener starting on Thursday.
Coach Darren Lehmann raised eyebrows when he couldn't guarantee Marsh a Hobart nod in the wake of their tense day-night Test win over New Zealand in Adelaide.
And chairman of selectors Rod Marsh obviously also has high hopes for Nevill, saying he wants the 'keeper to make more Test hundreds than any other Australian gloveman.
Adam Gilchrist struck 17 Test tons.
But Nevill insisted a batting promotion had not been a talking point in-house ahead of the Windies clash.
"I'm happy to bat where the captain wants me to bat," he said on Tuesday.
"It doesn't concern me where that is but, at this point, I haven't had any conversations about it."
Nigel Llong's controversial Decision Review System (DRS) decision might have proved a turning point in the day-night Test, helping Australia's tail wag and earn a precious first-innings lead on day two at Adelaide Oval.
But that stirring innings of 66 by Nevill - his highest score in seven Tests - was just as decisive in their three-wicket win.
"Obviously, we were in a bit of trouble there so to make a contribution when the team needed it and to be able to put on a partnership with Nathan Lyon was very pleasing," Nevill said of his Adelaide knock.
"It's great to contribute when the team needs the runs."
Nevill was still scratching his head over Llong's DRS call, though.
"Somebody said that it took seven minutes and it certainly seemed that long," he said.
"It was a bit of a bizarre experience, to be honest."
Despite Rod Marsh's bold expectations for Nevill with the bat, the 'keeper said he believed his influence behind the stumps was just as important.
"Obviously as a wicketkeeper, I'm looking to keep wickets as best I can but, when you're batting as well, you have to do your job," he said.
"There's not one you favour over the other. You just want them both to be as good as they can be."
