Adelaide Strikers wicketkeeper Alex Carey, on Friday, took a sensational flying catch in the ongoing Big Bash League, leaviღng spectators in awe.
Perth Scorchers all-rounder Aston Turner tried t☂o flick a Billy Stanlake delivery on to the leg-side for a boundary, but Carey had other plans. After covering a long distance, the southpaw put on a full-stretched dive towards his left to grab a ripper.
The video was shared by the BBL’s official Twitter handle with a caption: “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s Alex Carey! #BBL09”

Adelaide Strikers sure of a place in the top three
Fast bowler Wes Agar led Adelaꦦide Strikers to a comfortable 16-run victory over Perth Sไcorchers on Friday.
Phil Salt’s second half-century in his last four games helped the Strikers to 181-5 from their 20 overs, with Jake Weatherald and Travis Head making 35 apiece at Optus Stadium.
The 182-run target proved to be well beyond the hosts despite a magnificent knock from Liaཧm Livingstone (79), Wes Agar taking 3-36.
With the win, Adelaide is now placed at the second position in the points table and will not have to contest the eliminator round of 💧the playoffs. The Scorchers, meanwhile, are fourth and can secure a place in the playoffs with a win over Sydney Thunder on Sunday (January 26).
