Alex Carey has extracted some measure of revenge for his appalling treatment by England fans during the 2023 Ashes.
Alex Carey has extracted some measure of revenge for his appalling treatment by England fans during the 2023 Ashes by playing the matchwinning hand for Australia at Headingley.
With a combination of length deliveries and wobble seam, Starc cannily hid his inswinger from England’s captain Harry Brook for eight balls, before pinning him in front of middle and leg for a simple lbw decision with a screeching ninth. A round of unimaginative booing accompanied Carey to the batting crease. It was a relatively tame receptionAdvertisementFollowing that game, Carey was subjected to at least one death threat via social media, and his family was also abused. The Western Terrace launched chants of “shoes off if you hate Carey”, among other unprintable taunts, and on BBC radio the former England captain Alastair Cook peddled a false story that the wicketkeeper had failed to pay for a haircut in Leeds.
Australia were in desperate need of a steadier game after being sent in by Harry Brook and losing regular wickets on a dry, cracked surface that offered up swing, seam and spin under overcast morning skies.
