Wade whacked but will play on Matthew Wade has copped a cricket ball to the cheekbone but will play in the second Test. Picture: Daniel Wilkins. A FREAK accident that left Matthew Wade with a fractured cheekbone has disrupted preparations for the second Test. The tourists have no back-up wicketkeeper in their 16-man squad and team doctor Peter Brukner says Wade has been cleared to play, pending no dramatic worsening of his condition overnight. "Matthew Wade copped a knock to the cheek while facing throw downs in the nets this afternoon but batted on during training," Dr Brukner said on Friday night. It appears selectors have decided late on Friday to tinker with the lineup for the second Test, although a side has yet to be named. Offspinner Nathan Lyon (3-215 and 1-29) was hammered by India's batsmen in the first Test while pace duo Peter Siddle and Mitchell Starc took only one wicket between them. All three could be under the microscope to hold their spots. Captain and selector Michael Clarke says while playing only one specialist spinner wasn't necessarily a mistake in Chennai, consideration is being given to including back-up spinner Xavier Doherty for the second Test in Hyderabad. Clarke has praised 22-year-old pace bowler James Pattinson who took 5-96 in India's first innings in his first Test on Indian soil. "What Patto did really well was we bowled him in shorter spells so he could use his speed through the air," Clarke said on Friday. You have to hit the wicket really hard here. If you just put the ball there you get nothing out of the conditions, even if the ball is reverse-swinging. In Chennai it was really hard to be caught behind the wicket once the ball was 10 to 15 overs old so we needed to use our speed through the air. Patto did that really well. He ran in hard, hit the wicket really hard and he got more out of the pitch, and more out of the ball than Sidds and Starcy. We've certainly spoken about that. For a lot of the guys, it was their first Test match in India and those conditions are as tough as they are going to be for a fast-bowling unit and the batsmen.
