#Star #Adelaide #Strikers wicketkeeper-batsman #Alex #Carey was at his clinical best on his way to 82 runs off just 59 balls against the #Perth #Scorchers on #New #Year’s #Eve, but his innings was soured by one daring single.
#When the #Strikers were 3-73 at the 9.4-over mark, #Carey bunted a #Mitchell #Marsh delivery slightly to the left of cover and took off.
#And the dangerous #Jono #Wells, who had averaged 34.67 at a strike-rate of 122.11 across his #Big #Bash #League career ahead of the #Adelaide #Oval fixture, made a desperate dash to the other end only to be run out well short of the crease by #Englishman #Jason #Roy.
#It meant #Wells’ day with the bat had ended on two runs and #Carey would remain not out on 36.
#Fox #Cricket commentator #Brendan #Julian was stunned.
“#Ah, the #Strikers!” #Julian said.
“#What are they doing!
“#It was some great work in the field. #Carey hit it really well, great work from #Roy. Then he knew straight away that #Wells was at the non-striker’s.
“#He’s way out.”
The #Scorchers went on to record their first win of the season, chasing down #Adelaide’s 9-146 with seven wickets in hand.
#Roy top scored with 49 while #Josh #Inglis (44*) and #Mitch #Marsh (38*) saw struggling #Perth home.
