Alex Carey's Lucky Escape Video Against West Indies Trends On Internet

At Brisbane's Gabba, Australia is taking on West Indies in the day-night test. The match is full of entertainment as wickets continue to fall at regular intervals and bowlers are asking really tough questions in the batter's game. After winning the toss, Carrabian's opted to bat first.

Proving their decision wrong, Australian bowlers restricted the visitors to a low total of 311. Speedster Mitchel Starc emerged as star picking four wickets for a cheap economy. Josh Hazlewood and Nathon Lyon also dismissed 2 wickets each that helped Australia to keep West Indies total in control. While one wicket was bagged by captain Pat Cummins.

But soon the table turned around as Australia's chase was also full of ups and downs. Experienced Steve Smith went back to the pavilion early after scoring only 6 runs. Usman Khwaja (75) and Alex Carey (65) rescued the team with a counterattack to stead the sinking ship. Australia was 24 for 4 and 5 for 54 before Khawaja and Carey launched the scathing attack.

The match was spiced up by many incidents and one of them was Alex Carey's lucky survival. On the second ball of the 15th over, when the hosts were reeling at 72 for 5 a short-of-length delivery from Shamar Joseph kiss-passed the bails but didn't fall. It was a ball bowled at 141.7 mph, but Carey was lucky enough to survive and surprise everyone.

The video Alex Carey's survival is trending on the internet and cricket fans are surprised by the real fun of cricket.

At the end of the day's play, the West Indies stood at 13-1, holding a lead of 35 runs. Chanderpaul was adjudged out upon review for a subtle edge off Josh Hazlewood in the final over of the night.
