Australia's dashing wicket keeper-batter Alex Carey brought up his maiden century in Test cricket. The left-handed batter accomplished the milestone in the ongoing second Test versus South Africa.
Carey paces his knock to perfection
While Australia's top order laid the foundation, Carey pushed SA further on the back foot. He took the Proteas bowlers to cleaners as the Aussies crossed the 550-run mark.
A look at his career stats
Carey, who made his Test debut in December last year, now owns 633 runs in the format in 14 matches. While the keeper averages 39.56 in whites, his strike rate is a tad over 58 (SR: 58.29).
Major milestone for Alex Carey
Carey became the first Australian keeper to smash a Test ton since 2013. Brad Haddin's 118 vs England in 2013 was the previous Test ton by an Aussie gloveman.
