Qoutes
“You have to hang in there for a while, not just go out and play your shots. You have to select your bowler, read the circumstances, your areas, sort out your game plan and what you are doing on the field. It is really important to do proper preparation before the game.” Suresh Raina knows what it takes. “After the rained-out game we’ve got to win,
Dan’s told us it’s a must-win game. We’ve been in the situation before with West Indies, and we’ve come out winning the must-win games, so hopefully the pressure we can put ourselves under will work in our favour.” Ross Taylor is confident New Zealand can bounce back.
