New
Zealand terrain James Franklin admitted Saturday that he has a "mental
block" against Indian spinners but hope to put a better show in the
coming days.Asked if New Zealand batsmen have a mental block, pat came the reply: "Probably yes".
"But I can not vouch for the group. I can only answer for myself. I do not think there's a lot of turn
Ashwin has a few balls turn and bounce but that was the exception rather than the rule, "admitted Franklin, who scored top with an unbeaten 43 in the media interaction after the game.
"We talked this morning before starting the game in what we have to do. Unfortunately, we have not been able to do what we are now following. Probably is an area (batting against spinners) can look to improve."
"The guys are working hard in the nets and it's up to people to solve their own gameplans - whether in defense or attack We need to move forward and continue working against turning our options, but we have a large. Opportunity to do in the next couple of days, "said Franklin.
When asked if it will be almost impossible to save this test match playing time unless the damper, Franklin replied: "I do not think so. Hopefully, we will rectify the few mistakes we made in the first innings and looking to stay much longer in the fold.
The black caps strategy for the remaining two days will be to strike out in accordance with the time and lanky road, which starts with Brendon McCullum at the top.
"It's going to start tomorrow with Kane and Brendon and probably now about taking time out of the game and score runs along the way is a pretty simple formula:. Occupy the crease only."
"The five are trying to implement what we have discussed and lead by example a little boys now have the opportunity to be disciplined Who knows what can happen on day 5; .. You can only focus on tomorrow," said an air of positivity.
Spinners in India, said: "They are obviously good and well made spinners in India have a lot of gardeners around the bat we can not let that worry us a lot and we have to focus only on our own games ... Just to catch a ball at the time. "
Asked about his 43 entries not, he said: "I just tried to keep my game plan as simple as possible and just waited for bowling to me obviously not always going to be some balls that were going to give laps .. beyond me ... I was just trying not to worry too much and focus on the balls that come to you every time. "
Franklin was against the view that New Zealand openers batted slowly in the second innings.
"I do not think our hitters are so inclined.'ve Been working on defensive options because we have to hit long. We have to hit at least one and a half.
It was time to fold. "
Franklin believes his teammates are technically well prepared to take the attack back to the Indian camp.
"Our guys are technically capable enough to exploit any of the bad balls. Might seem that we have had a slow start, but it is also a reflection of how well the Indians have been shot."
He said his batsmen started on a positive note in the second innings.
"I think we have started to do well in the second and innigs have to keep doing that for a long time until the fifth day."
