Cricket; Matthew Wade admits fault after controversial clash with English bowler Mark Wood
Australian keeper Matthew Wade said he would not have protested if he had been disposed of on the run-in with controversial English fast bowler Mark Wood, admitting he “didn’t look good”.
Wade, in the aftermath of his crash at the opening of the T20 against England in Perth last week, was shown in video of him stretching his arm to prevent a bowler from making a catch or runout after skiing the ball in the air. After showing, I was put in a pillory.
The 34-year-old, who is preparing to join Australia’s T20 World Cup defense, initially denied he had done anything wrong when asked by his teammates after the game.
However, after watching the replay, Wade admitted that he had done something wrong.
“When I saw it after the game, it was terrible,” Wade told cricket.com.au’s The Unplayable Podcast.
’ It was one of those things that happened very quickly.
“I think[teammate]Kane Richardson said, ‘I basically pushed him’ when I got off the ground. I was like, ‘No, I didn’t.’ . And then I saw the replay and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s right.
“At first I wasn’t sure if I hit it. I hit my head hard, the bell rang a little, (I) ran down the ticket gate, Davey (Warner) sent me back, I turned around and the points ran. I saw you there.
“After that I didn’t know if I was going to run out or where the actual ball was. was.
“Yeah, I didn’t see it very well.”
Despite the agreement of most pundits, none of the British team appealed.
In a one-day clash in 2015, Wade’s only 11 batsmen to keep have never interfered with the field in the history of international men’s cricket, including England star Ben Stokes.
Along the lines, Wade said he wouldn’t have protested had he been dealt.
“If I had planned to do it consciously, I would have regretted it,” he said.
“But there was so much going on at the time and you were getting your head banged by a guy bowing 150 kilometers to you. Things were fast-forwarding. It was chaos. .
“If they appealed and I had seen it on the replay, I would have been off the ground. There’s not much I can do about it.”
