We’re confident of bouncing back in Delhi and levelling the series: Alex Carey

Alex Carey

Wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey on Tuesday said that Australia will continue playing Test matches the way they have been doing in the past 12-18 months, brushing aside former captain Allan Border's criticism that the visitors need to play hard and tough.

Australia lost the first Test by an innings and 123 runs to trail the four-match series 0-1, which led to sharp criticism from Border who said the visitors were acting too nice and need to "play with a harder edge".

"We highly respect Allan Border. I guess among the group, guys do it differently. We come up against these players a lot," Carey said.

Despite the heavy loss, Carey said the Australian camp is positive and they are backing themselves to bounce back in Delhi.

"It is the first Test of four and we're still very positive amongst ourselves that we'll be able to bounce back in Delhi [Kotla] and get this series back on level [terms] and continue to believe in what we've done over the past 12 to 18 months," said Carey.
