We?ve adapted well on some of the toughest pitches: Wade

COLOMBO: Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has said that the one-day specialists and seamers in the side countered Sri Lanka’s spinners by ‘adapting really well on some of the toughest ODI pitches’, helping the visitors seal the ODI ****** after a 3-0 whitewash in the Tests.

“We have had the advantage, the one-day players getting the advantage to see what the Test pitches have played like and coming here with a clear gameplan,” Wade said. “Myself and George Bailey and a few others have just come over for the one-dayers, we have had a clear plan and it has worked so far.

“The wickets have been some of the toughest you’ll get in One-day International cricket, we’ve come from the West Indies, which took spin. You don’t usually play on used wickets back to back in One-day Internationals. It hasn’t been suited to the way we play but we’ve adapted really well. We are playing a few more quicks than what they (Sri Lanka) are, but with variable bounce and reverse swing, we’ve countered their spinners.”

Despite **t being picked for the following T20 ****** against Sri Lanka, Wade ack**wledged he is contributing more to Australia **w compared to a few years ago.

“Every time you don’t get picked for Australia is disappointing, but that’s the way it goes,” he said. “I’m **t a 100 % sure of the reason. (Peter) Nevill played the T20 World Cup and I was told he was going to bat lower, so they wanted to go with his keeping. I’ll just keep playing the way I play in ODIs.

“I feel my game is at a level **w where I can contribute in ODIs. There was a period of time where my game wasn’t in order three or four years ago, where I felt I wasn’t contributing e**ugh. At the moment, I feel my game is in good order. I want to get picked for every tour, every match because I feel I can do the job.”

After Australia’s tri-****** win in the Caribbean, stand-in coach Justin Langer challenged Wade to become the best wicketkeeper in the country by following a diligent work ethic. More than two months later, Wade said his keeping is as good as it has ever been.

“It came as a bit of shock to me that it came out in the press like that. I spoke to JL (Langer) after and understood what he was trying to say,” Wade said. “I’m under ** illusions that I need to work harder and get better at my game. If I want to play Test cricket again, I have to work harder.

“I’ve improved with my glovework over the past 3-4 weeks in the subcontinent. I went to England and kept playing, that makes a huge difference in the off-season: going home or just training indoors or going to Brisbane to get work done. This time I went to England. I feel like I’m keeping as well as I’ve done for a very long time.”
