“People get carried away by the way I play cue ball versus red ball cricket, in my first class career I’m not a heartthrob by any stretch of the imagination. We all know what Davey does, it’s a dangerous player in are at the top of the order and they are hard to come by: guys who average 50 and attack what Davey does, “Wade said Sunday during a virtual press conference.
“But standing on the field, India has also been under pressure with our bowlers for a long period. That’s tough, tough. Cricket test, not easy to score. The grounds have been what hit us the most. which we probably expected. In the pink ball game, we expected it to move and do it quite a bit, but at the MCG it cut a bit and then spun more than we probably expected. We have to adapt quickly to those situations. Sydney it can take spinning too, so we just have to be prepared, “he added.
