Matthew Wade feels he is keeping well - or as well as anybody can when they're behind the stumps in India.
Wade's glovework has always attracted plenty of scrutiny and it's been no different since selectors reinstated him as Test wicketkeeper at the expense of Peter Nevill
The 29-year-old's technique deteriorated during the infamous 'homeworkgate' tour of 2013. Wade, who suffered a sprained ankle and fractured cheekbone during that trip, was dropped for the ensuing Ashes series in England.
Wade has enjoyed a more productive stint on the subcontinent so far, completing three stumpings and conceding only five more byes than counterpart Wriddhiman Saha.
Putting down an incredibly tough chance offered by Cheteshwar Pujara in Bangalore has been the most costly of Wade's few errors in the four-Test series, which is level at 1-1.
"I feel like I'm keeping well, as well as you can keep over here," Wade said ahead of the third Test, which starts in Ranchi on Thursday.
"You're going to miss some over here.
"It's about moving on from that and trying to work hard to take the chances that come. I'm feeling really confident."
Saha, who snaffled a sensational diving catch in both the first and second Tests, has been honing his craft on the dusty decks of India throughout his life.
The 32-year-old noted "it is always a challenge for the wicketkeepers on turning tracks".
"There is always a variation in bounce, which was the case in both the Tests," Saha said.
"Sometimes it becomes a blind zone for the keepers."
The raging turner in Pune was rated "poor" by the match referee, but Wade found Bangalore a lot tougher.
"It was consistent spin, it didn't go up and down as much as Bangalore," Wade said.
"Bangalore was certainly a challenge, especially with Nathan bowling quite fast over here on this tour and hitting the footmarks.
"It was going up and down quite a lot."
The 29-year-old is renowned for being a stroke player but he showed impressive grit in a three-hour stay at the crease during Australia's first innings in Bangalore.
"It's hard to bat down the order here. Obviously the wicket gets a lot more tired but it's about trying to find contributions from our tail," Wade said, when asked about his knock of 40.
"It's about trying to grind some runs out.
"In Test cricket, your game is built around defence."
