Lol the technology is so bad it can't even see hotspot.
And suddenly snicko is completely aligned with when it hit the pads.
Hilarious the arguments about it not being aligned.
Not arguing Carey is out, but suddenly the alignment is the same as the visuals? Lol pull the other one.

This chase would be the 28th highest in test history, Pakistans 3rd and the 6th highest in Australia. It would also have the be the 2nd best at the MCG and the best chase for Pakistan in Australia.

Obviously it’s not over till it’s over but the odds are certainly against the Pakistanis
 
People talk about Carey's batting falling away, but I'm old enough to remember Rod Marsh. He played for years after returning from World Series Cricket, always batting 7, rarely ever making runs, but nobody dared suggest he should be dropped. Just saying.

Too bad for modern keepers that Adam Gilchrist existed and the game progressed
 
Terrific fightback from 4/16, and that 50 should give Carey some confidence.

PAK will do well to even get close if there's any movement on offer.

Gilchrist was very much the exception. A tidy keeper who can average around 35 would be gratefully accepted by most teams even now.
 
Everyone forgets Healy when discussing batting wickey's.
He was as good as Marsh with the bat and the best keeper I have seen play for Australia.
Gilchrist was a batsman keeper really. Better than Healy as a bat, not quite as good behind the stumps. Both were excellent to Warne, Healy in my mind better.

We’ve done the same thing to our keepers post Gilchrist that we did to our spinners post Warne.

Haddin, Paine and now Carey were all fantastic wicket keepers who averaged 30+, yet all have had question marks in the media/with supporters over their spots throughout their careers.

Even the selectors got sucked in when we picked Wade who was a bang average keeper because his batting was slightly better at first class level.
