MS Dhoni not ready to take http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 lightly – Cricket News Update
India’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, is not ready to take New Zealand lightly, despite their poor performances in international cricket recently and feels that the conditions in Bangalore will suite the visitors’ bowling attack.
Having failed to make an impression in the recent tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in the first of the two-match Test series at Hyderabad by an innings and 115 runs.
The second Test has started today at Bangalore, with the visitors winning the toss and electing to bat first in order to avoid a day four or five track against the Indian spinners, who dominated the initial fixture.
The wicketkeeper/batsman expressed that conditions in Bangalore are expected to be cloudy during the match and the Kiwi seamers have the ability to trouble the Indian batsmen.
In the previous season, the Indian team was criticized for being complacent as they were whitewashed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Dhoni however, claims that his team never takes things for granted and they will give their hundred percent against New Zealand in the second Test as well. The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jharkhand-c800 knows that his side will have to work hard to
complete a whitewash against the Black Caps.
"You don't need to be overconfident, that has never been the case with us," Dhoni said. "We are a side that respects the opponents whoever we are playing, wherever we are playing. Whatever we did right in the first Test, we will have
to repeat everything."
In the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394, the Indian captain thinks that the Kiwis cannot be written off at Bangalore. The Hyderabad Test was dominated by the spinners but the track for the second Test is different
in Dhoni’s opinion, which is likely to offer some pace to the fast bowlers.
"I think they have a good bowling side especially on this kind of wicket and in overcast conditions they will come up with a good bowling plan and execute their plans well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 was a bit different as there was not much for the
pacers, still their fast bowlers got wickets," he added.
