“He’s super competitive and something ticked him over a little bit today, and that’s what we love about Wadey. “He backed away and he played that shot and I think he felt like that it was the same basically as letting it hit him on the leg on a dead ball.“That’s the beautiful thing about Wadey, having him behind the stumps. He’s so competitive.“If you’ve got a wicketkeeper who is quiet, whose body language is the opposite of someone like Wadey, you can feel that as well.”Australian opener Travis Head suggested that music playing over the venue’s loudspeaker prompted Wade to pull out of the delivery.
