Australia wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey has said that the Border-Gavaskar series defeat to India in Perth saw an overreaction from fans
and experts. There have been many reports of rifts within the team as well. Despite being seated comfortably in the World Test Championship (WTC) table, Australia have been shaky in the Tests for a while.

“It’s quite a big reaction externally for one loss. Internally, we don’t feel that. We didn’t play the way that we wanted to play, but we know over four or five Test matches that if we keep rocking up and playing our style of cricket then we’ll have the success,” Carey told reporters ahead of the second Test (via Herald Sun).

“We’ve had that success to call upon that the method does work. We’re calm internally and we’re excited to get back out and play a better style of cricket. We’ve got that opportunity on Friday,” he further added.

Inspired by an opening spell for the ages, Team India bowled out Australia for 104 runs in the first innings in Perth. While Bumrah led the charge for the visitors, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Reddy also did well. Alex Carey, however, maintained that the batters will have to come up with ways to counter Bumrah and the other bowlers to avoid a defeat.

“He’s obviously a fantastic bowler and has been for a number of years. Our batters are world class as well and always find ways to come up with solutions. We’ve had a look at him now, so hopefully we can combat that first and second spell and get him bowling a little bit deeper in the innings with an older ball. We saw Travis (Head) have a bit of a counterpunch (in Perth), so I trust our batters to find a way not only (against) Bumrah but they played a couple of debutants who bowled well,” Alex Carey concluded.
