Alex Carey has dismissed suggestions that Australia’s quest for redemption in the second Test has been disturbed by mass criticism following a horror start to the India series.

Australia’s batting order were brutally exposed in the first Test, falling quickly to be defeated by 295 runs.

The nation’s perfect pink-ball record is the next challenge India are aiming to crush, but Carey remains confident his team has what it takes to rectify the errors of the past..

“It’s been quite a big reaction externally for one Test lost,” he said.

“We respect other peoples opinions. We don’t have to listen to them, but we certainly respect them. Internally, we are really focused and confident.

“We didn’t play the way we would have liked to have played, but we know over five Test matches, we keep rocking up and playing our style of cricket, we will have the success.

“We’re calm internally and we’re excited to get back out there and play a better style of cricket.”

Changes to the team have yet to be confirmed but Mitch Marsh made no error showing his comfort in the nets on Tuesday amid concerns over his fitness.

Marnus Labuschagne was also seen in the nets during the team’s opening training and looked eager to improve on his recent performances.

Some critics have suggested the 30-year-old must bat his way back into contention, but Carey believes the middle batting order can continue taking on a cautious approach.

“When the opportunity is there, you have to be game smart at times,” Carey said.

“But I feel like for myself Trav, Mitch, we play different to those top four. We try to go out there with strong intent.

“Whereas, the top four can go out there, battle and really grind teams into the ground. They’ve done it before.”

Carey insisted the team is not expecting to replicate the success of their 2020 pink ball Test against India, where the visiting nation were bowled out for 36, but hopeful a victory will be achieved.

“There are obviously amazing days in cricketing history but we are not going there expecting to do that again,” said Carey.

“We have a process and a plan that we try to execute and whatever happens, happens. I was not here for that Test match.

“We are excited and take a lot of confidence for our record in pink ball cricket.

“We will hope to succeed and I think our methods will help us bounce back from Perth.”
