Australia's bowling has enough firepower to take all 20 Pakistani wickets, says Alex Carey

• Alex claims the Australian cricket team has enough firepower to bowl 20 wickets. 
• He hopes the pitch will open up soon that will make scoring easier. 
• Alex also regrets losing his wicket in latest Test match. 

KARACHI: Australia’s wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey believes that Aussies' bowling line-up has enough firepower to create opportunities and take all the 20 wickets of the Pakistani batters in the coming days of the second Test at the National Stadium.

After the end of Day 2, Australians are 505-8 with declaration not in their mind. Alex Carey scored 93 runs out of 159 balls before he was bowled by Babar Azam just minutes before the stumps on day two.

He also revealed that the Australian team came to the ground intending to bat all day.

The captain commented that all batters had a similar goal in mind. "Get your head around batting all day unless a message comes otherwise."

Commenting on the pitch he said that the wicket was not easiest to score on as there was a reverse swing throughout the day.

“The more runs we can get in this first innings, it sets us up for the back end. But I think that wicket is starting to show a little bit of life," he said. He added that he hopes for the pitch to open up soon which will make scoring on the upcoming days easier than before.

Carey added that he believes that there's an opportunity for Australia to take 20 wickets on days three, four, and five of the Test match in Karachi.

Talking about his innings and opportunity to play in the region, the wicket-keeper-batter said that it has provided him with the blueprint of how to play here ahead of Australia’s scheduled matches in the coming year.

He regretted losing his wicket just before the stumps.

“Unfortunately, it's the way it goes," he said. "My head would probably hit the pillow tonight and have a few other shots go through my head but that's the beauty of this game. If you're slightly off, you lose your wicket.”

The captain also added that there will be take-outs for him in this innings.

He also spoke about the pool incident at his hotel that became viral meme content on the internet.

“I always wanted to have signs in the crowd, tap my name on them, but probably didn't expect it was going to be about falling into a pool,” the Australian cricketer said.
