[ahamedirshad123]

Who needs doosras and teesras when wicket falls off a full toss!!

 

[hamzamunir]

Matthew Wade....WOW i can't believe his footwork abilities. He is so darn good. Please observe guys, this guy probably is underrated and could turn out to be a great bat. Amazing footwork!

 

[hamzamunir]

Who needs doosras and teesras when wicket falls off a full toss!!

hahaha










No.

 

[Aamir Ansari]

6 Wade's fifty

 

[Fawad2010]

enough time for Wade to score a 100

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Wade seem a v good batsmen.

Aus 105/2 after 13 overs.

 

[jattafridi]

 

[MoNkEy]

Very impressed by Wade so far.

If his keeping is as good as his batting he could be around for a long time.

 

[jattafridi]

 

[Aamir Ansari]

123-2 from 14

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Wade phaintasisng the Indians.

 

[Aamir Ansari]

Rain interrupted play.

 

[OZGOD]

Good to see Praveen Kumar going for 12 an over.

 

[style_guru]

Very impressed by Wade so far.

If his keeping is as good as his batting he could be around for a long time.

Mind you, he is up against the mighty Indian attack.

 

[AZ]

This Wade fellow is some player!

 

[Blitz]

This Wade fellow is some player!

I think the Aussies will be more pleased he could replace Haddin in ODI's and Tests.


To be honest, anyone could, so its not saying much

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Wade phaintasisng the Indians.

Learn your Unglish bro. Its Phaintofying.

 

[iHammad]

Australia have hit 7 sixes, awesome.

 

[Strike!]

Sir Ravindera Jadeja's economy. )

 

[MoNkEy]

Mind you, he is up against the mighty Indian attack.

This is true.

A severely weakened one at that, considering the absence of the TALL AND MIGHTY ISHANT!
