Carey caught three runs on Wednesday – Jos Buttler (39) and Ollie (0) – as England fell to 136 for 8 after 46.2 overs.This was despite some aggressive bowling by Australian bowlers, particularly skipper Pat Cummins (3 wickets), and Mitchell Starc (2 wickets).

Gilchrist gave a moving speech to Carey as he presented him with his Baggy Green cap in Brisbane just before the start.You are worthy of this.This is not an easy award.

“It was a courageous journey.You walked away from one adventure (playing in the Australian Football League) but courageously started another dream.Today, you are living that dream.Gilchrist added, “It’s absolutely brilliant.”

In an extremely tough competition for the wicketkeeper-batter’s slot in the Australian Test team, South Australia’s Carey emerged victorious to replace Paine after the selectors reposed faith in him for the first two Ashes Tests.

Carey, aged 30, was preferred to Josh Inglis, making him the 461st player to represent Australia at Test cricket.
