After A Memorable Test Debut, Alex Carey Says That Ashes Will Continue To Move Forward

Brisbane, December 12, 2012 : , Australia’s wicketkeeper Alex Carey stated that he is determined to keep improving after his memorable debut at The Gabba in Ashes.
Carey took eight wickets in Carey’s team’s win against England.

He replaced Tim Paine as the captain for the second two matches.This broke the record for Test debut wicketkeepers taking the most wickets.

Carey caught three runs in the opening innings, and then took five more in the second.

“As a wicketkeeper, you are judged only on the catches taken and dropped.

So I will keep going forward and try to improve my game to Gaz and Nathan Lyon — the Gabba had great bounce and play, and we now move to Adelaide, where the ball should be moving a little more, possibly a bit slower, with the pink ball.

Carey said, “But they all bowl beautifully and I’ll keep trying hard to improve my ‘keeping’ to them guys.”

Carey passed his test to become a keeper based on how well he played against Nathan Lyon.I’ve been able to keep a small amount of Gaz white-ball cricket, but it’s quite different when there are so many things happening.He’s a great guy and I will continue working hard to keep him company.

Carey said that he was confident in his game, and had previously played white ball for Australia.

This helped him to give a positive account in his maiden Test.
