WHEN it comes off for Matthew Wade, he looks like a million bucks. At his last match at The Hundred for Birmingham Phoenix on August 30, he showed no mercy to the bowlers, scoring 81 off 42 (11x4,2x6). He was in a similar mood for Australia in their first T20I against India at Mohali on Tuesday.
Chasing 209, the wicket-keeper, reduced a very stiff asking rate at the death to levels that would be frowned upon in book cricket. The last 12 balls he faced read 4, 1, 4, 1, 6, 1, 6, 2, 1, 4, 4, 4. He began the carnage with Australia needing 55 off 24 balls. When he was done with giving Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel a headache experienced previously by Shaheen Shah Afridi at the T20 World Cup, the task was two off six balls. The Indian bowlers had another off day and the visitors chased down a stiff 209 with five balls and four wickets to spare.
