'One For The Ages': Gilchrist Lauds Carey's 'emotional Hundred' In Adelaide
Adam Gilchrist: Australian legend Adam Gilchrist was full of praise for Alex Carey after he delivered his finest Ashes performance with a stunning century on his home ground in front of family, friends, and fans, describing it as an ‘emotional hundred for a quality cricketer.’
Carey arrived at the crease when Australia were in trouble at 94/4 and formed a vital 91-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Usman Khawaja (82). After Khawaja's dismissal, Carey stood firm throughout to score his third Test century. He eventually went after a top edge, finishing on 106.
After his century, Carey paid tribute to his late father, who passed away in September due to leukaemia. Gilchrist, who presented Carey with his ‘Baggy Green’ cap before his debut in Brisbane in 2021, praised the wicketkeeper-batter's maiden Ashes century as “one for the ages.”
