Australia's controversial wicketkeeping selection Matthew Wade has been criticised by ex-Test great Ian Healy after a bungle against South Africa.
While newcomer Matt Renshaw dropped a hot chance at first slip from the bat of South African Hashim Amla on day three of the third Test in Adelaide, Healy said Wade was at fault.
He believes Wade, drafted into the Test side to replace Peter Nevill, should have attempted the catch which flew to Renshaw's left.
"Two men slow to go ... both thought it was the other's (catch)," Healy said in commentary for the Nine Network.
"I think it's keeper's (catch). A little step and (he could have gone for it).
"This is a new cordon. Matthew Renshaw has to learn, maybe, when Matthew Wade is going to go.
"Matthew Wade's footwork wasn't excellent. Renshaw wasn't ready either."
Wade, generally considered an inferior gloveman to Nevill, was summoned into Australia's squad because of his superior batting ability.
But the Victorian made just four runs in Australia's first innings, while Nevill responded to his omission by scoring an unbeaten 73 on Saturday for NSW in their Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania.
