PERTH: Two balls ago Ben Stokes moved his third man finer.

FIrst ball he bowled full. Second ball he bowled shorter, and Carey guided it straight down the throat of third man.

“He’s fallen for it,” Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket.

“It’s trouble, big, big trouble for Australia.”

Mark Waugh added: “I can’t believe it, 10 minutes before stumps.”

Well this is dreadful batting, really.

Carey goes for 26 and Australia is 8-121.

Replays show he whacked the back of his bat after hitting it too. He knew it was an awful mistake.
