AUS vs NZ, 2nd Test: Matthew Wade Did A Michael Jackson And Twitter Can't Handle It

Cricket Australia shared a comparison of Wade’s body shape with MJ’s dance move. They tweeted: “Wadey, are you ok? Are you ok, Wadey?”

Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew came out with a bizarre defensive shot while batting against New Zealand on the first day of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. His posture was captured on the camera and the picture was all over the internet. On the opening day, the left-handed batsman once again made it to the trends on social media for his ‘Michael Jackson’ move on the pitch. Wade, who came out to bat on Thursday after Marnus Labuschagne got out, was treated with a barrage of short-pitched stuff from Wagner, Tim Southee and Trent Boult. However, a delivery left him in a bit awkward position. The position of Wade, while facing that delivery, was quite similar to Jackson’s ‘Anti-Gravity’ lean from hit song ‘Smooth Criminal’. Cricket Australia shared a comparison of Wade’s body shape with MJ’s dance move. They tweeted: “Wadey, are you ok? Are you ok, Wadey?”
