Colour-blind wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has a simple approach to seeing the pink ball: don't overthink it.
Wade has been recalled for the third Test between Australia and South Africa, which starts at Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
The contest will test how much Wade has worked on his wicketkeeping since 2013,
when he was most recently behind the stumps for Australia's Test side.
It will also challenge his vision.
Wade has played with the pink ball at Sheffield Shield level and is confident he won't have a problem picking it up.
