Australia star Smith 'really focused' ahead of pink ball Test against India

Smith said that he is really focused on adapting to the pink-ball Test against India in Adelaide after losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener by 295 runs in Perth.

The second Test of the five-match series between India and Australia is a much-anticipated day-night Test as teams sweat it hard to adjust to pink-ball. In the last and only pink-ball Test between the two teams, Australia won the match by eight wickets after folding India for a mere 36 in the second innings which remain their lowest Test total.

Smith, who looked out of touch in Perth with 0 and 17, believes that it will be tough conditions for batters to adjust to switch from day to night.
