‘Real slap in the face’: Ex-Aussie stars whack selectors over shock Wade snub – Fox Sports
Former Australian all-rounder Simon O’Donnell has joined the chorus of outrage over the make-up of Australia’s Test squad to tour South Africa.
On the back of a historic series defeat to India, selectors made a number of bold decisions including dropping veteran Mathew Wade despite his efforts playing in three different roles throughout the series.
Wade played in all four games against India two as an opener and two in the middle order making just 173 runs from eight innings at an average of 21.62.
He was axed in what could prove terminal for his Test aspirations while Travis Head, who was dumped mid-series against India, was handed a reprieve.
