It's the case of settling in. Previously he teed off from ball 1. Now he realizes, if he plays 50 balls he will probably end-up getting 70-80 runs anyways! I am with Ian Bishop, he has the game for Tests with abit of fine tuning. In fact he would be more effective in Tests where he doesn't need to attack spinners or score runs off them continuously

Watson, Hussey star as Aussies win T20 More... Watson, Hussey star as Aussies win T20 From: AFP March 28, 2012 Australia have claimed an eight-wicket victory in the first T20 international against the West Indies. VETERANS Shane Watson and Michael Hussey eased Australia to victory in the first Twenty20 international against hosts West Indies in St Lucia. Both Watson and Hussey hit half centuries with the former - who stood in as skipper for injured captain Michael Clarke during the one day series but stepped down for this format - scoring 69. Hussey was unbeaten on 59 as the tourists coasted to victory with 11 balls remaining thanks to a fine century partnership by him and Watson after opener David Warner was out for a duck. After electing to bat, the West Indies had made 150-7 in the first of the two-match series against Australia at Beausejour Cricket Ground. The modest total owed much to a swashbuckling 26-ball knock of 54 from Kieron Pollard that featured two fours and five sixes - four of those coming off consecutive balls in the 16th and 17th overs - and off 20 balls was the fastest half century by a West Indian batsman in this format. He beat former West Indies captain Chris Gayle's half century off 23 balls against Australia in 2009. Daniel Christian was the tourists' most effective bowler, taking three wickets for 27 runs. West Indies skipper Darren Sammy had hit a blistering 84 in the final match of the one-day series two days ago, but he fell for just seven, misjudging a heave down the ground off Brett Lee that was easily caught by David Hussey. Australia prevailed by 30 runs in the final one-day international to level the five-match series at 2-2. Christian came into the Twenty20 team alongside James Pattinson, with George Bailey taking over the captaincy for the shortest format from Watson. The West Indies were without Andre Russell, who was ruled out after battling a hamstring injury during the one-day series. It is the first time the West Indies have played a T20 international for five months and for both sides the main concern is to get in some crucial practice ahead of the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in September. The second Twenty20 match is in Bridgetown on Friday.

Test debut looms for keeper Wade More... Australia in West Indies 2012 Test debut looms for keeper Wade Brydon Coverdale March 30, 2012 Matthew Wade has said he is not getting ahead of himself despite his likely Test debut looming on the horizon. Wade is expected to earn his first baggy green on Saturday next week, when the Australians take on West Indies in the first Test in Bridgetown, after the Test incumbent Brad Haddin flew home for family reasons and announced he would not rejoin the tour. That will give Wade, 24, the perfect opportunity to make the Test position his own, with three matches on this tour and then a break until the start of the next Australian summer, by which time Haddin will be 35. But Wade said he was not thinking any further ahead than the Caribbean tour, and simply wanted to grab every opportunity that came his way. "Every time you get a chance to show what you've got for Australia you're trying to do your best," Wade said in Barbados. "I'm just going to concentrate on these three games and look no further than that. Hopefully I do get the opportunity to play and can do well in these three games. If I look too far down the track that won't help me at all." The New South Wales wicketkeeper Peter Nevill is also on the tour but Wade is clearly the first in line, as the incumbent in both the shorter formats and the man who was to be Haddin's Test backup in the original squad. Should he make his debut he will be part of an elite group of only five men to take the gloves in Tests since Ian Healy's retirement, the others being Adam Gilchrist, Haddin, Graham Manou and Tim Paine. Wade said playing in the five ODIs and the Twenty20s in the West Indies had helped him adjust to the conditions ahead of the Test series, and he was also keen for some time at the crease during the three-day tour match ahead of the first Test. So far on the tour Wade has made scores of 0, 3, 2, 15 and 26, but his form in the Australian summer showed his value with the bat. "The first three games I didn't get a lot of time in the middle, it was over pretty quick," he said. "But the last couple of games I've felt like I'm going in the right direction. I've had a little bit more time in the middle to get used to the conditions so hopefully the wicket has a bit of pace in it, which the Aussies will like a bit more. "Playing the one-dayers and the Twenty20s has definitely helped me adjust to the conditions. The first few games were trying conditions, which we'll probably come against at some stage in this Test tour. So to get a little bit of experience under these conditions has been fantastic for me and hopefully it will hold me in good stead for the rest of the tour." Wade said he felt for Haddin, whose sudden departure from the tour due to family reasons caught everyone by surprise. "I think every human being is going to feel for someone in that situation," Wade said. "It's unfortunate and a sad situation. I feel for Brad that he's had to go home and give up the opportunity to play for Australia. It's obviously a pretty serious event to give up the opportunity to play for Australia." The three-day tour match begins in Barbados on Monday and the first Test starts on Saturday, April 7.
