“I think it's important for us to try to adapt as quickly as possible to what we're given; it's something we can't control with the wicket,” Latham was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. So it's about going out there and trying to adapt as quickly as possible, and if it's a wicket that turns a bit more, obviously we've got four spinners in our line-up, so hopefully. “That will play into their hands, but yes, as I said, it's about trying to adapt on the run, and trying not to go into the game with too many biases.”
When asked about the win against India in the first Test match, the Kiwi captain said it was due to the team effort. “Yeah, obviously it's very special, I think… me, Graham Dowling and John Wright, it's really special to be in this position. But for me it was a team effort, it wasn't just me that won. You know, the players did a great job, and obviously it was last week, we obviously celebrated it was a special performance, but our focus quickly shifted to the game, and. “We're trying not to rest on what happened last week, but take the confidence we got from last week into this game, and hopefully we'll have a great performance,” he added.
