Alex Carey Becomes Second Australian Wicket-keeper After Rod Marsh To Hit Test Century At MCG

By IANS News December 28, 2022 • 11:45 AM View: 1632

Left-handed batter Alex Carey on Wednesday scripted history as he became the second Australian wicket-keeper after legendary Rod Marsh to score a Test century at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), on the third day of the second Test against South Africa, here.

Carey celebrated a brisk maiden Test hundred (111) in typically understated fashion. He carved a wide ball through the off-side with only an ear-to-ear grin giving away the fact he had just reached the rare milestone.
