Such a popular one hundred test. Such a popular teammate. It was so deserved for Alex Carey. She has worked so hard about it. Mass external control in its place on the side in the past 18 months and has proven why it is No. 1 Wicket-Keeper behind Wickets & with the bat in hand #Slvaus pic.twitter.com/0vnngoqbn3
