We were put under pressure early in the series. Really exciting with series on the line and the boys are very excited. For us, we played some very good cricket even in the first two games but just fell short. We have been working really hard and success is starting to come. We are really confident going into the final game tomorrow,” he said.

Healthy competition good for the side

However, the selectors didn’t name them in the ODI squad against Pakistan. They were available for the last two games but selector Trevor Hohns insisted that they wanted to look at them in the Indian Premier League at first. Alex Carey feels this is a healthy competition and it will only make them more robust.
