Mathew Wade - Australias tough little nugget

[TheParraboy]

Doesn't get any tougher than this bloke, pound for pound.

I think his keeping has improved, Neville better be on his game
His batting, provided he can train like Gilly, will be up there around the 45.00 average mark in test cricket

Will be our next world cup keeper winner, mark my words

Only weight 76kg, so we save on the lunch buffet a bit (across 5 days in a test , that's a lot)

I refuse to believe he is 1.70 in height, 1.60 is closer to the mark

Watch him go from strength to strength. He will end up playing well over 50 tests and 150 ODIs

Mathew '2 dollar steak' Wade. Forget the buffet, Wadey is like a billy goat, just feed the tough little bugger tin cans.

 

[hineyrulz]

Problem is AG he will keep with those Billy cans.

The nugget i dropped in the toilet this morning is a better keeper

 

[AlwaysGreen]

You don't have to catch to be a good keeper. As long as you can call a batsmen a merkin in between dropping catches and letting byes through you're doing a good job.

 

[Timbo]

I'd rather they use a wheely bin and call it automatic keeper.

Matt Wade isn't worth feeding.

 

[Twizzle]

nugget is a good description of him

He's worth feeding into a wood chipper....

 

[Timbo]

Better than Wade.

How did i miss this thread,Matt Wade what a hero,what a specimen

When we played street cricket we used to prop up a tarp between two bins as a keeper, it would droop down from time to time and let balls fly over the top.

Naturally, we named it Wade.

I can't see him averaging 45 in tests.

I'd say about 35-36 with the bat.

They may persist with Nevill though. But I can't see Nevill averaging more than 30 with the bat.

5 runs more per innings isn't worth 3 dropped catches

 

[hineyrulz]

5 runs more per innings isn't worth 3 dropped catches

3 dropped catches per session???

He is easily the worst keeper I have seen play for Aus, worse then Wayne Phillips who could at least bat.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol Wade is almost a bad a bat as he is a keeper.

 

[Rabbits20]

5 runs more per innings isn't worth 3 dropped catches

He will get another go at some point though.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I doubt it. He was dropped because his keeping is shit and his batting isn't good enough to make up for it.
Batting average of 34.61. He needs a batting average of 134.61 to make up for his keeping deficiencies.

I'd say his days in the ODI team are numbered too.

 

[Twizzle]

Not according to Marsh. Who would replace him though,no one I can think of Springs to mind.

No Rod Marsh he won't.
