Alex Carey will play his 50th Test as the best wicketkeeper in the country, but also as a man for all occasions with the bat after a career turning point in 2024.
Since making his debut in the 2021-22 Ashes series, Carey has not missed a Test match and will reach the milestone in Mackay during the second Test against Bangladesh which starts on Saturday.
His glovework, as evidenced by his exemplary displays up to the stumps off pacemen Michael Neser and Scott Boland in last summer's Ashes, has reached the pinnacle, but it is his batting that has come along in leaps and bounds.
