Wade battles on despite fracture Australia's Matthew Wade belied a fractured cheekbone to hit 62 in a record partnership of 145, but the tough little gloveman still wasn't happy. Wade joined skipper Michael Clarke (91) at the crease in the second Test against India in Hyderabad on Saturday with the score on 4-63. The Hobart-born Victoria batsman didn't depart the scene until after tea. While Wade fell 38 runs short of reaching his third century in just his 11th Test, the left-hander had a major impact on lifting Australia's total to 9-237 declared. India were due to resume on Sunday on 0-5. Promoted to No.6 for the Sydney Test against Sri Lanka in January, Wade hit an unbeaten 102 in Australia's first innings. However in the first Test against India in Chennai on a turning pitch, the 25-year-old went for 12 and eight. His slog-sweep attempt in the second innings was an ugly affair as he was bowled by spinner Harbhajan Singh. Once he'd confirmed he could see properly following a training accident on Friday which left him with a minor fracture and a nasty shiner, Wade decided to shelve the sweep. "There was no doubt really (about playing)," Wade said. Wade said he was continuing to work on the sweep in the nets. "If it's spinning big and I feel like it's on I'll play the sweep shot," he said. Wade's 145-run stand beat the previous record for the fifth wicket for Australia in India of 139 between Damien Martyn and Jason Gillespie in 2004. "I felt like my plans against the spin and against the quicks came off pretty well," Wade said. Me and Michael had built a really good platform and we lost a lot of wickets in that last session (5-28). (It's) very disappointing that we couldn't kick on and have a really big partnership. Clarke hit out on 91 with only two wickets in hand and was dismissed nine runs shy of his 10th hundred in 23 Tests as captain.
