Test cricket Darwin is an oddity, as Australia and Bangladesh prepare for the first five-dayer in the Top End since 2004. Alex Carey, who was catapulted into conversations as the world’s best gloveman after his Ashes performances over the Australian summer, said he cannot wait to begin. “To be honest, this group of players are really professional in the way that they look after themselves, really experienced with getting themselves up for each Test match and really match-hardened as well. Carey straight-batted a question fon how Australia can get the best out of the bowling attack in such a compressed schedule. “We have a really good bowling attack – hopefully they can take 20 wickets each Test match in a short amount of time.”
