Bayliss, who took over as the coach of the Knight Riders ahead of the 2012 season from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571, agreed that batting has been a major let down for them in the previous two games. Speaking to media reporters at the pre-match press conference, Bayliss urged the batsmen, especially the top order, to build partnerships in Tuesday’s match against Bangalore.

If we put up partnerships, we will have wickets at the end," said the KKR head coach speaking to the media reporters on the eve of the match. "We have to bowl and field well against a side boasting of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737," he added further.
The 49-year-old Australian, who was the coach of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup, is not reading too much into KKR’s poor start to the season.

"We are on the right track. The players are confident that the IPL is a long competition and there was a chance to bounce back," Bayliss said. "Most of the teams in the competition will go through a little bit of a low. Teams have bounced back too."
When asked about the playing XI for the crucial match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Bayliss said that the team management would decide the final squad on Monday night or just before the match, emphasising, "Best team will give best chance for us to win.”
