Matthew Wade's clash with Mark Wood in a T20 World Cup warm-up. Wade stuck an arm out to impede Wood as the England paceman ran down the pitch to attempt a catch in Perth on Sunday, sparking criticism of the Australian wicketkeeper-batsman from fans and media pundits. England captain Jos Buttler declined to appeal for obstructing the field, however, saying later that he did not see the incident clearly and also wanted to avoid controversy at the start of the series. Curran said his captain had "probably" made the right call under the circumstances but felt similar decisions in future might be better taken out of players' hands. "As players, you're watching the ball go up and we're looking at that rather than maybe the actual movements of the players involved," he told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.
