Australia's test wicketkeeper Alex Carey has equalled an international record with his eight catches Wednesday in a domestic one-day cricket match. Carey held eight catches for South Australia state in a limited-overs win over Queensland in his first 50-over match since being replaced as Australia's first-choice white ball wicketkeeper at the World Cup in India last year. He took five catches off the bowling of Jordan Buckingham and equaled the List A world record with his eighth catch to dismiss Matt Kuhnemann. Two other wicketkeepers have taken eight catches in a List A innings, both in England. Derek Taylor set the record playing for Somerset in 1982 and Worcestershire's James Pipe matched it in 2021.
Blistering half centuries by Alex Carey and captain Pat Cummins led Australia's fightback on Day 2 of the day-night test against West Indies on Friday. Carey smashed 65 runs off 49 balls and Cummins finished unbeaten on 64 off 73 before he declared Australia's first innings at 289-9 despite still trailing by 22. The decision to give his fast bowlers a chance to bowl with the pink ball under lights for half an hour paid off. Mitchell Starc almost had captain Kraigg Brathwaite dismissed in his second over but Steve Smith dropped a low catch in the slips. Josh Hazlewood then found a faint edge from Tagenarine Chanderpaul's bat in the last over of the day as West Indies reached 13-1 in its second innings at stumps for an overall lead of 35 runs. Usman Khawaja, who was named ICC test player of the year 2023 on Friday, once again played a meaningful knock of 75, after West Indies' first innings effort of 311. Carey provided the bulk of the scoring with his aggressive shots as he raised a

Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey warned England he would repeat his controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow if another chance arose in the rest of the Ashes series. I definitely would, Carey said on Saturday. He has been bemused by the reaction to him throwing down the stumps after Bairstow wandered out of his crease without checking if the ball was dead. It caused unprecedented scenes of uproar in the Lord's test two weeks ago. England was chasing on the last morning. After the incident, the crowd accused Australia of cheating. The Australians were abused in the Long Room by Marylebone Cricket Club members. The club apologized. The MCC, which owns Lord's and curates the laws of cricket, added Carey was in the right. But England claimed Australia broke the unwritten spirit of cricket,' prompting each country's prime minister to back their teams. Carey and the Australians continued to draw abuse from the crowd last week in Leeds, where England won to trim the visitors' lead to ...

Australia wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey is confident about his team's preparations for next month's World Test Championship final and said the decision of not playing a warm-up game ahead of the summit clash can only be talked about in hindsight. Both India and Australia will not play a warm-up game ahead of the final beginning at the Oval from June 7. Australia will stay back in the UK after the WTC final for the five-Test Ashes against England beginning June 16. "The guys have all gone away and had individual programs over this (recent) period. We have had guys playing cricket here in England. The guys at the IPL and some guys at home spending some time there," Carey was quoted as saying by ICC. "Coming together now we really feel the excitement heading into the Test Championship and I think it will be a hindsight thing about whether or not we should have played a warm-up match. "As a player I feel like we will be ready come that first match so I think it will be one of the thi
