Cricket: Alex Carey's gritty solo act and the return of their star quicks has fired Australia to a 14th straight one-day win as they conquered England.
Carey carries Aussies to ODI victory | 02:23New South Wales recruit Josh Philippe has only needed one match to show Western Australia what they’ll be missing this summer.
With national selector George Bailey watching on from the stands, the 27-year-old steered the Blues towards 9-287 in their season opener, with no other NSW player reaching fifty. “Today was always going to be a bit of a challenge, playing against WA,” Philippe said after the win.“I just felt really good.”Philippe, player of the tournament in 2022/23, won three consecutive one-day titles at Western Australia, scoring a crucial 42 during last summer’s final against NSW. Last December, he received a national recall for Australia’s T20 tour of India, representing his country for the first time in more than two years.
The Perth native has averaged 14.44 in the first-class competition since December 2021, reaching fifty just once in his 27 most recent innings.
