By India Today Sports Desk: Alex Carey said that Australia need to stay patient to reap the rewards on Day 5 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India at the Kennington Oval in London. Going into the last and final day of the grand finale, the Aussies needed to defend 280 runs with seven wickets left in the Indian innings. After setting a massive target of 444 for India to chase down, the Aussies were put under pressure by Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. Shubman and Rohit put on 41 runs for the opening wicket off 7.1 overs before Scott Boland dismissed the former. Thereafter, Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara stitched together a partnership of 51 runs before both batters perished in a space of five balls. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli re-injected momentum into the Indian innings with a 71-run stand for the fourth wicket. Carey said that with Rahane and Kohli in the middle, the Aussies need to show a lot of patience. “(The pitch) is still doing bits and pieces, but hopefully those chances will come," he added. Earlier on Day 4, it was Carey’s unbeaten knock of 66 runs off 105 balls with eight fours that took Australia to 280 for eight in 84.3 overs. Carey and Mitchell Starc put on 93 runs for the seventh wicket to take their team’s lead past the 400-run mark.

Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey talks exclusively to the ICC in the build up to the ICC World Test Championship final against India Fellow keeper Adam Gilchrist presented Carey with his Baggy Green when he made his Test debut against England in Brisbane during the most recent Ashes series in 2021 and the left-hander said the Australia great is among a small, but select, group of former keepers he still remains in contact with. Carey, in England ahead of the ICC World Test Championship Final against India and an eagerly-awaited Ashes series with England, admitted he enjoys hearing regularly from the tight-knit group of Australian wicket-keepers. "The beauty of representing Australia as a wicket-keeper is it’s a pretty small club," Carey said. "Adam Gilchrist presented my Baggy Green and is a guy I obviously looked up to when I was a youngster. "Brad Haddin was part of the one-day World Cup, I have done some work with Ian Healy, Graham Manou is a South Australian boy and Tim Paine recently as well - and Matty Wade is another. "It is really nice to be able to bounce ideas off those guys, even just some thoughts and questions to get a second opinion. They are really open to offering advice and support and like I said it is a pretty small club so it is always nice to hear from those guys." Ricky Ponting is another ex-player to have worked alongside Carey, with the duo's relationship blossoming during the 2019 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and then re-ignited shortly after when...

As inaugural captain of the Greater Western Sydney Giants on their road towards inclusion in the Australian Football League, Alex Carey appeared to be a talent lost to cricket. But the fade of his Australian football career around his 20th birthday left him to fall back on the other sport that had competed for his junior attention, starting a road to becoming Australia's wicketkeeper across formats and also a vice-captain of the ODI side. Carey had always been highly regarded by South Australia, for whom he turned out at age-group levels in addition to his club side Glenelg. On returning home from Sydney, Carey excelled in grade ranks as a batsman, but found the going harder when first chosen for the Redbacks in early 2013. These struggles led the adaptable Carey to make another switch, from full-time batter to a wicketkeeper-batter down the order, and it was in this form that he was able to progress. Amid a strong club and 2nd XI season in 2015-16, he displaced Tim Ludeman as South Australia's gloveman, and earned strong reviews for his precise footwork, soft hands and promising, elegant batting. He took 57 Sheffield Shield catches and two stumpings in 2016-17 and was in the selectors' thoughts entering the 2017-18 Ashes, only to be nipped out of a baggy green by the return of the older, wiser Tim Paine. He quickly replaced Paine in the ODI team and remarkably became vice-captain of both limited-overs teams in the aftermath of Australian cricket's cultural review, cementi...

It is still Australia's to lose, but what a contest it has been. There was some surprise that Australia batted for as long as they did, setting India a mammoth 444. But Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma started beautifully, as did Cheteshwar Pujara, before they became India's three wickets to fall.
