Alex Carey Hits Maiden Test Ton, Becomes First Aussie Wicketkeeper To Score Test Hundred in Nine Years
Alex Carey gets his sixth first-class ton but more importantly his First Test ton. He hit 13 boundaries on his way to achieve the special milestone.
It's a memorable day for Aussie wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey as he shows great application to hit the first Test century of his career at Melbourne against South Africa in the 2nd Test vs Australia. He becomes the first Aussie wicketkeeper to score a hundred after 2013. His predecessor Tim Paine, who was also the captain of the baggy green, failed to achieve this feat. Carey, who made it to the Test team just a year ago after Paine's retirement, didn't take much time to show his true potential. Farhaan Behardien, South Africa All-Rounder, Announces Retirement From Professional Cricket.
