    Sam Curran: England would appeal for obstruction in the World Cup

    "In those big moments, it could be a wicket that wins you the game or
    loses the game"

    Sam Curran has indicated that the consequences involved in a World Cup
    match would likely see England take a different approach to Matthew
    Wade's apparent obstruction of Mark Wood during the first T20I in Perth.

    When Wade got a top edge against Wood in the 17th over, with Australia
    needing 39 off 22 balls, he blocked the fast bowler's attempt to reach
    the catch with an out-stretched arm in what appeared to be a clear case
    of obstructing the field. However, England captain Jos Buttler, who said
    he had not been watching Wade, declined to appeal, later saying it was
    early days on a long tour.

    Buttler, himself, intimated that he would probably consider a different approach in a match with more riding on it and Curran was of a similar view.
