Wade Makes his Debut
19 year old Tasmanian Matthew Wade made his debut for victoria recently.
This came after Wade made some hard decisions to play cricket instead of pursuing a career in AFL football, and choosing to pursue a cricket career away from his home state were two wicketkeepers seemed to have that position sown up and he believed his opportunities were going to be limited.
Wade did pretty well to get a Guernsey before Adam Crosthwaite but didn’t let the selectors down by scoring: 83 & 5 Not Out and taking 6 catches for the match.
Not a bad start. Pity we could not keep him at home.
