Matthew Wade comfortable moving up to No.6 – Cricket News Update
Australian wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326, if it helps the team balance.
"I'd be comfortable moving up to No.6 if that's what the team needed me to do to win a Test match. I've been lucky enough to bat at six for Victoria for a couple of years now. In terms of impact on keeping, it doesn't make too much of a difference coming
one up the order. I'm happy to bat at six if the team needs me, or stay at seven," shared Wade.
Normally coming in at No.7, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558’s recurring calf injury, which occurred during the Melbourne Test against Sri Lanka. Both Clarke and Michael Hussey will move one up the order to cover
for Watson, while Maxwell will come in at No.7.
Doubtful to play the final Test against Sri Lanka in Sydney following a strained hamstring, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Khawaja-c2729.
Previously, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170. Gilchrist scored 645 runs at an average of 49.61, while Haddin’s average was only 18. Not put under much pressure by the decision, Wade shared, "My personal
expectation if I'm at six or seven is to contribute runs to the team. Personally that doesn't change for me."
Moving up the order will provide the wicketkeeper a good chance to prove his worth as a batsman. If he delivers successfully, the Australian selectors may make it a permanent change for him in light of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942’s retirement from Test Cricket (Sydney
Test being his last) while Watson’s international future remains under question (with his recurring injuries hampering his chances as an all-rounder).
