BENGALURU : Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith said their batsmen will aim to slow things down at the crease when they take on India in the third test in Indore starting on Wednesday after risky shot-making cost them dearly in the previous match.

Smith was among those who played reckless sweep shots in their second innings in the Indian capital only to fall lbw or be bowled by spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who have taken 31 wickets between them in two matches. "I was pretty angry," Smith said of his dismissal which sparked Australia's collapse as they lost eight wickets for 28 runs."There haven't been too many times in my 94-test career where I've come off and been bedazzled by what I've done.

"We don't have to play at such a high tempo and risky tempo. We had them where we wanted them, we had men out and the ability to get off strike."
