Matthew Wade [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/230193.html] hopes his performance with the bat in the recently concluded Ashes series is enough to seal a place in the middle-order in Tests. This is especially with regard to the upcoming cricket summer. However, he also stated that there are no selection guarantees. Wade scored two centuries and finished as Australia’s third-highest run-getter in the series. As a result, Australia retained the urn on English soil. Unfortunately, they failed to win the final Test at The Oval where he scored a fighting 117 in the second innings. “I’d like to think my performances over those five Tests will have me in the first Test, but you never know,” Matthew Wade said to the reporters on Thursday. Although Australia retained the Ashes, they face selection issues at the top of the order. Especially after the poor form of the openers David Warner [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/david-warner/], Cameron Bancroft [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/501011.html] and Marcus Harris [https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/7776/marcus-harris]. Even the other slots are not too set as Travis Head [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/530011.html] was dropped for Mitchell Marsh [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/272450.html] and Marnus Labuschagne [https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/10182/marnus-labuschagne] replaced Usman Khawaja [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/215155.html] at No. 3. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/07MatthewWade.jpg]Matthew Wade However, there are 12 Sheffield Shield matches ahead of Australia’s next series against Pakistan from November 21 at the Gabba. Wade, however, is expecting to do good in the domestic series so that it would help him to retain his place in the Test squad. “You never feel 100 per cent safe,” he said of his Australian spot. “Every time I play a game for Australia I feel like I’m playing for my spot. There’ll be plenty of press around the first few Shield games.” “I got the two hundreds, that’s what everyone will speak about but I thought … the 30s I got in important times in the Leeds Test and the Manchester Test showed that under pressure I can stand up in the big moments,” he expressed. He supported Test captain Tim Paine [http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/7252.html] who came under the scanner for the captaincy and questionable DRS calls. He even faced criticism for his choice to bowl first in The Oval match, where England registered an easy win to level the series 2-2. “Ashes cricket can be a pressure cooker and I thought he handled it really well. Within the group, he’s got our full respect,” Wade concluded. 

Matthew Wade hopes his performance with the bat in the recently concluded Ashes
series is enough to seal a place in the middle-order in Test.

David Warner Biography

David Warner has had a fairly long cricketing career, debuting in first class cricket in 2009 for the ODI and the T20 national team. Two years later he kicked off his Test career for the Australian team.

For his T20 debut, David Warner became the first man to play for Australia without a first-class match experience, a record in itself.

However, his blossoming career has been mired in controversy. David Warner has often been described a 'thuggish' on the field. In 2013, he was accused of physically assaulting England player Joe Root. In the same year, he had an on-field altercation with the South Africa A wicketkeeper.

In 2018, he was involved in yet another alternation, again during a South Africa game. But the biggest one yet was in the same year when he and skipper Steve Smith were embroiled in a ball-tampering scandal. He was the vice captain of the Australia team at the time and was forced to step down along with Smith.

IPL Career

A year later he was signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad and has played for them ever since. David Warner has proven to be quite the asset for the Sunrisers and is an explosive batsman.

He boasts of a strike rate of 143.10 at an average of 41.67. The Australian batsman even boasts of a high score of 126, set in 2017. He and Steve Smith voluntarily pulled out of the IPL in the wake of their ball-tampering saga

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, David Warner enters IPL 2019 with a clear conscience and his explosive batting nature intact. Sunrisers skipper, Kane Williamson will be hoping that his Aussie neighbour delivers the goods.
