Middle order batsman of Kiwi, Ross Taylor expects pitch of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad will be more favorable for bowlers than wickets. Taylor is hopeful regarding the performance of his team in the first test. For the upcoming second test, Taylor stated, “We are happy with the way we played but we know that is in the past.”
He further added, “We can take a lot of confidence from the way we batted and bowled. It was a very flat wicket. We are expecting different pitch conditions here, it will probably have a little bit more bounce and probably turn a little bit more.”
On extremely slow wicket of Motera, spinners of both the teams worked hard. During the second innings, Chris Martin has controlled top Indian order fully. But, off spinner Harbhajan Singh and VVS Laxman saved the final day of match.
Taylor is expecting some great performance from Martin with some spinner friendly conditions. Taylor stated, “Obviously spin will play a big part. It didn’t turn a lot in Ahmedabad and hopefully, the wicket will have a bit more bounce too. We are all excited but we don’t want to get carried away with the way we played. Hopefully, Chris can show the form he showed in Ahmedabad again here in Hyderabad.”
New Zealand is worried regarding the inconsistency at top order. Taylor said, “There will be a selection meeting around it but McIntosh knows where he went wrong and obviously it is not easy getting a pair on what was quite a flat wicket. He has done well for us in the past. He has often got a low score and then come back and got a big score.”
