A gritty century from Test wicketkeeper Alex Carey helped South Australia clinch back-to-back Sheffield Shield titles yesterday with a stunning 56-run comeback win over Victoria.

Facing defeat at 79-5 in the second innings, Carey stepped up to crunch 103 in a crucial late stand with number nine Nathan McAndrew (60).

Their bowlers then finished the job at Melbourne’s Junction Oval to deny Victoria a first domestic red-ball crown since 2018-19.
