Recalled Australian gloveman Matthew Wade won't just have to contend with a fiery South African attack when the day-night Test starts on Thursday with the colour-blind Victorian also having to deal with the pink ball.
Speaking to Australian media on Monday, Wade said that while he had played domestic cricket with the pink ball and was used to it, he still had to work hard to see the ball clearly whilst being either behind the stumps or at the crease.
"It's just at times it takes a little bit longer to work out the depth of where it's coming," he said.
"I've got more used to it I suppose. The more you play, you get more used to it."
The 28-year-old said it was very important not to overthink it.
"It can't be an issue. I've got to work it out."
"You've just got to get used to it. I think it's trying to get it out of your mind. I can see the colour of the ball, I pick it up.
Wade has been largely picked in the Australian Test side for his batting prowess after the capitulation in Hobart. But his wicket-keeping skills have been said to let him down at times.
Something which Wade has said he's worked on immensely.
"I know in my own game that I wasn't getting the best out of my glovework, so I went back and worked really hard on that for a couple of years now and I feel like I've held my spot in the one-day team as the keeper."
The day-night Test will get underway at 4.30pm Thursday (New Zealand time)
