Watch: Alex Carey Bowled Around His Legs Trying To Reverse-Sweep A Full Toss
Pakistan vs Australia: Alex Carey could only muster four runs off four deliveries before losing his wicket in the 1st ODI.
Alex Carey had a disappointing showing with the bat during Australia's first ODI against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, on Tuesday. Carey could only muster four runs off four balls, before losing his wicket to Zahid Mahmood in dramatic fashion. In the second delivery of the 40th over, Carey received a full toss and tried to reverse-sweep it but he failed to connect as the ball went around his legs and smashed the stumps.
