Super all-rounder ... Wicketkeeper Matthew Wade bowls a rare over for Australia. Source: Wayne Ludbey / News Limited
Matthew Wade became the first Australian wicketkeeper to bowl in a Test since Rod Marsh 29 years ago, in a bizarre roll of the dice by Michael Clarke on day five of the Test against Sri Lanka.
Australia was six wickets short of victory just before tea on the final day when wade was handed the ball and Phil Hughes took over the gloves and pads.

Wade bowled just one over - a maiden - and his medium pace of 130km/h kept Thilan Samaraweera quiet.
The decision was a strange gambit with the game in the balance as Australia struggled with injuries to front line paceman Ben Hilfenhaus and part-time spinner Clarke.
Rod Marsh bowled 10 overs against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 1980 and another two overs in the penultimate match of his career - the 1984 Boxing Day Test at the MCG. His 12 career overs yielded no wickets and 54 runs.
