Speaking on The Grade Cricketer\ufeff podcast,<\/em> Queensland teammate Matthew Renshaw revealed Pierson almost debuted at Headingley when Carey was hit in the head by Mark Wood.<\/p>\n

"I spoke to him after … he was very, very close to playing which would've been an amazing story," Renshaw said.<\/p>\n

Five matches into the Sheffield Shield, Pierson is currently fifth on the leading run-scorers list with \ufeff361 runs at 40.11.<\/p>\n

Carey said his focus is on Sheffield Shield with South Australia as he looks to keep his place in the Test side.<\/p>\n

"I don't feel like one-day and Test cricket overlay, so we'll wait and see when Test selection comes out, but I'm looking forward to getting out there Tuesday and having a hit with the red ball for the Redbacks and then see what happens," he said when arriving back from India.<\/p>\n

"I'm looking forward to getting back out there and playing \u2026 I'm smashing them in the nets, I think I've scored about 500 in the nets, so I'm feeling good.<\/p>\n

"You never want to get dropped in any format, and unfortunately after the first game I didn't get back out there, but I thought I held myself around the group pretty well."<\/p>\n

Having only played one game in the tournament, Carey did admit to a strange feeling when asked how it felt sitting on the sidelines as Australia won the final. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"Yeah, it was (weird) \u2026 obviously I would've loved to have been out there and be part of the XI, but (to) experience a winning World Cup, although not to be part of the XI it was still really special," he said.<\/p>\n

"It was two months away with a group that's had an amazing year \u2013 as we look back, we've won a World Test Championship, retained the Ashes and now we've won the World Cup.<\/p>\n

"(I tried to) be the best 12th man that I can be, I thought I did that pretty well \u2026 the boys were hydrated. You're still part of the cricket team, it's something you dream of. I still found it really enjoyable."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
