Carey has managed to score only 56 runs in the series thus far.
Carey has impressed one and all with his glovework on the turning pitches of India, but he has managed to score only 56 runs in the series thus far.
The southpaw also believes the Australian batters have their own methods to deal with rank turners and he is going to back his strength in the fourth Test, slated to start on March 9 in Ahmedabad.
“I had some confidence out of the first game and then getting out defending, am I happy with that? Not really,” Carey told reporters.
“I think probably just sticking to my method now and understanding if you chase it too much then you might get yourself into trouble.
“So yeah, back my strength and try to score with the sweeps and manipulate a little bit more that way. In India, if you change your method too much, it goes pretty quickly. I’ll continue to be positive over here.”
After their failure in the second Test in Delhi, Aussie batters didn’t attempt a lot of sweep shots in the third Test in Indore, which they won by nine wickets to stage a comeback in the four-match series.
“We all know that our players play differently, Travis (Head) will play an aggressive nature and Peter (Handscomb) will grind out runs, and he’s played beautifully. And Steve (Smith) does it his way.
“We’ve all got different methods and, internally, we live with that. So looking forward to another opportunity in Ahmedabad and get down and maybe get the broom out again," he said.
During the third Test, Alex Carey had pulled off a sharp stumping to send back Rohit Sharma in India’s first innings. The ball from Matthew Kuhnemann turned eight degrees and Rohit missed it with Carey completing the job behind the stumps.
“Instinct takes over when you see a ball bounce like that. I don’t think many of us were expecting an eight degree turning ball that early in the game. But it was nice to hold on to that and for us to get a bit of momentum.
“It was nice after we missed a couple of reviews (in the first over of the game ) to get that one I thought once the big screen showed the nick, I thought he might have settled in for a nice 150 or something like that,” he remarked.
