Sri Lanka vs New Zealand: Tim Southee says Kiwi players learnt lot about playing in Sri Lankan conditions in 1st Test loss

Firstpost  

New Zealand’s only warm-up game was badly affected by torrential rain and the Black Caps went into the match in Galle a little underdone and lost it by six wickets. Colombo: New Zealand’s loss in the first Test against Sri Lanka had been a lot closer than the six-wicket defeat suggested and the side had learned a lot about how best to play in local conditions, according to pace bowler Tim Southee. “Hopefully we can put in the hard work and turn out a performance over the next Test match.” Southee and his fellow pace bowler Trent Boult, who will miss the three-match T20 series along with regular captain Kane Williamson, were barely used on an unresponsive Galle pitch. “I guess we’re doing more of a support role for the spinners who are more attacking in these conditions.” New Zealand’s top-six batsmen failed to truly fire in the first Test with only Ross Taylor, who scored 86 in the first innings, and wicketkeeper BJ Watling, posting substantial scores.
