Australia A captain Alex Carey has revealed that he called Allan Border after copping a searing spray from the iconic Aussie skipper.<\/p>\n

Border was incensed by a day two performance from Australia A in a tour game against India, branding the lethargic showing "an absolute disgrace"<\/a> and claiming "they gave up". Carey, as captain and a touted future Australian skipper, copped the brunt of Border's criticism.<\/p>\n

Carey had already addressed the comments<\/a> and then took the step of seeking out Border, both for clarification and counsel.<\/p>\n

"It was difficult circumstances at times [in the match] having a few changes with head knocks," Carey told SEN radio. <\/p>\n

"A couple of bowlers got injured and to manage players throughout that was difficult at times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"I had a chat to him (Border) yesterday. We discussed a few things … it was great to talk to him and learn from him and get some advice. I think it would be silly not to, he's one of the greatest Australian captains we've had.<\/p>\n

"I just said, 'I wanted to have a chat to you around what you said, and what advice you could give me'. We spoke about a few things, and he offered some support … it was a really, really good discussion.<\/p>\n

"Great to have a chat with him, and finish the game off the way we did."<\/p>\n

The spray that Border reserved personally for Carey went: "If Alex Carey is in line to be an Australian captain, he has got a lot of work to do for me. He has gone down quite a few pegs.<\/p>\n

"He is a good cricketer Alex Carey, he has got a bit of energy himself, but yesterday he should have reacted to the way the general feel around the team was."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Carey said on Tuesday: "The one thing we can control is the attitude out there \u2014 we could have a better attitude and show a bit more energy.<\/p>\n

"I'm happy with the tactical side of it, but if there's an attitude side of it, then obviously that probably does need a change.<\/p>\n

"I probably took that one a bit more personally, so I can do that better next time."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
