Yes, that was Carey's catch. He'd be wondering why he didn't go for it.

I've done the same thing - left it for the slip then wondered why afterward given it was definitely my catch.

Not a good feeling.
 
I have to admit I'm starting to wonder how much having Hazlewood and Cummins neuters Starc as a cricketer.

The fact they're so hard to score from makes his life easier. Be less likely to get the wafty drive edges without them. He's the one to try and score from.
 
The Ashes matter

not some shithouse test in Dubai against Pakistan.

I see no issues in discrediting someone's performance based on their ashes performance against that of their success in Dubai, against Pakistan.

maybe that's just me though.

In 2016 Pakistan, 2 years earlier were briefly ranked number 1 in tests largely through UAE dominance.

Beating them would have been a huge achievement. England instead are probably praying to be saved by the omicron virus from 6-0.
