Alex Carey

[Burtonsgottago]

Nice innings by Carey last night. If that was Inglis or Phillipe wed be hearing how they should be there in front of him. Truth is, it’s a big step up to Test cricket and there’s no much seperating them as their records show.

 

[RedVest4]

Inglis needs to be in for Pakistan. Carey isn’t up to it

 

[Blue Arrow]

He is not improving.

Alex Carey comes under fire for missing a stumping that could have changed the result

The Adelaide wicketkeeper could have had Hayden Kerr out on the first ball – instead, the Sydney Sixer made an unbeaten 98 and hit the winning runs.

Imagine how he is will go on a bunsen in India

 

[Santana]

Thought his keeping was pretty solid from what I saw of this series.

 

[Pippen94]

Haha. So much ownage after Pakistan series.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Thought his keeping was pretty solid from what I saw of this series.

Weren't the most testing pitches for keeping, dropped 2 catches in the 3 Tests.

 

[DaRick]

His keeping to spin has been pretty sound while in the Test side, truth be told.

It's his keeping to pace that's been the primary concern because he's rather one-footed and he gropes at the ball with his knees.

Suggests that he has decent reflexes but questionable technique.

Like so many modern keepers his footwork is pretty poor.

Still the best overall package we have IMO and looks like he is settling in the team.

This aged well.

I myself thought that Inglis had a higher upside but Carey has acquitted himself reasonably well this series, so obviously I wouldn't drop him.

Can you go a day without putting shit on Carey?

Its not putting S88t on carey its the truth

Carey was good in the Pakistan series I thought.

Still isn’t. Sloppy with the gloves throughout. Did ok with the bat on some absolute roads

Haha. He wasn’t ‘sloppy with the gloves throughout’. That’s a blatant lie. He was absolutely fine in test 2 and 3. A couple of little mistakes in test 1. That was it.

And his batting helped put Australia in a winning position when we needed him in the second test and his partnership with Green was absolutely crucial in the third test.

Gee some people are sad.

 

[Tugga27]

I'm an Inglis fan but it looks like he missed the boat, test wise anyway.

Carey has had a really good series in Pakistan.

 

[windyhill]

Finally get a keeper who is not a mouthy smart arse, amazing.

 

[apollo_creed]

From all accounts one of the absolutely nicest, sweetest blokes going around as well which makes all the (state based) failure wishing from a small section of fans all the more disappointing.

 

[big_e]

Finally get a keeper who is not a mouthy smart arse, amazing.

And yet not being a mouthy smart arse is what got Peter Nevill dropped.

That and averaging 22 with the bat over 17 tests.

Don't ruin my story, bro.

 

[RedVest4]

Won’t be in the side in 12 months
