“I guess whatever comes our way, it’s about trying to adapt as quickly as we can – that’s something we can’t control with the wicket,” Latham mentioned. “So it’s about trying to go out there and adapt as quickly as we can, and if it’s going to be a wicket that spins a bit more, then obviously we’ve got four spinners in our line-up, so fingers crossed. It’ll go in their favor, but yeah, Like I said, it’s about trying to adapt as you go and trying not to go into the game with too many preconceived ideas.”
“If it’s extreme terrain, it almost gets us more into the game,” Ravindra mentioned. “If you win the toss, suddenly you take a couple of wickets and you’re straight into the game on a pitch that’s quite spicy and spins a lot. As a team, it’s about accepting what we have in front of us. We can’t change that. No We can control which window they are going to implement.
“However, we’ll be able to watch our angle, how we handle it and every place we go with the bat or consistency with the ball. We’re excited for the challenge, whatever it may be.”
New Zealand had picked three spinners for the first Test in Bengaluru but did not need any of them with the ball in the first innings in seam conditions. However, his workload could be much higher in both the innings in Pune. New Zealand is also open to selecting an additional spinner instead of a seamer if conditions warrant. Bowling all-rounder Michael Bracewell has returned home for the birth of his second child, but they have other options in Mitchell Santner (left-arm finger spinner) and Ish Sodhi (wrist spinner).
“Yes, I clearly had a bit of an assumption about what [the playing XI] “It may seem like it, but we will create the best options later and I will talk to you about it,” Latham said. “So yeah, like I said, it’s just about trying to make sure we adapt as best we can, and trying to get a little bit of information from previous games here, and also the practice fields we’re at, hopefully.” “They’re going to be something or similar to what we’re getting, so I think that’s the beauty of our team, trying not to go into the game with too many preconceived ideas and trying to make sure we adapt as best we can.”
“But our attention quickly turned to this game, and we’re trying, I guess, not to rest on what happened last week, but to try to take the confidence from last week, and carry it into this game, and hopefully get there to the ground.” run.”
