Australian selectors cannot continue to overlook Matthew Wade

A record breaking performance with the willow has thrown a constantly overlooked star back into the spotlight ahead of the Ashes.

Matthew Wade hit the quickest hundred by an Australian in List-A history as he sent another message to national selectors in Derbyshire.

After Andrew Tye took 6-65 with the ball to have Derbyshire 9-283, Wade thumped 155 from just 71 balls to take the tourists to victory with 14.4 overs and seven wickets to spare on Sunday.

A hopeful to be picked in Australia’s Ashes squad as back-up wicketkeeper and batsman, Wade’s century came after he hit 117 on Thursday in the tour opener against Northamptonshire.

But Sunday’s knock was even more impressive, bringing up his hundred off just 45 balls to take the record for the fastest to three figures from David Hussey (49 balls) in 2009.






He covers 3 positions, batsman, bowler, and keeper. Perfect ashes squad member if anyone in the XI get injured. His legion of fans cannot be disappointed again with a non selection
