Alex Carey might not have got too many chances during the ODI series against England, but says he ‘took a lot out of’ being around the team and watching the action.
A lot of it didn’t make for happy viewing from an Australian point of view, as England swept the series 5-0, and Carey, the highly-rated 26-year-old vice-captain of the T20I side, identified batting against spin as his main area of focus going forward.
“It’s more the off-field stuff and just coming into a game with a pretty clear mind of ‘what’s going to be best for the team to win a game’,” said Carey. “The best part about Gilly is he kept it pretty simple when he played and he’s doing the same with the messages he’s giving us.
“If there’s anything it’s just little bits and pieces but it’s pretty much ‘what’s best for our team to win’ and going into games with that mentality. It keeps everything else pretty simple.”
