Sheffield sheild

Alex Carey: Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey has revealed about a minor technical adjustment which he’s brought to his batting and could give him big returns ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India.

Carey comes into the all-important five-match Test series against India after making 452 runs for South Australia in the Sheffield Sheild at an astonishing average of 90.40. “When you play and play and play, you don't really get a chance to work on too many things. I was able to have a pre-season; it’s always nice to hit more balls.”

“I worked on the game and tinkered that a little bit and then just tried to keep a really solid process going into every game. Hopefully, it continues on Friday, but a few slight technical shifts over the last six months I’ve brought in. Not having games coming up for a while, I just mucked around with my hands and found something that felt good.”
