00:00 We've seen a lot of the things that happened in the last series that we played here.
00:05 What were the patterns, what were the areas that guys were looking to get us out.
00:09 We were probably not that experienced a side back then in terms of the whole batting group
00:14 batting together.
00:15 But if you see the last three years or so, we have really evolved as a batting group
00:20 and we're more sure and more aware of our abilities and we're definitely ready to counter
00:25 all the things that are going to be thrown at us.
00:28 But having said that, New Zealand always has fields which make the game's high scoring
00:36 in general.
00:37 So the key is not to panic too much in the field when you see 300 being posted regularly.
00:44 You just have to back yourselves as a batting group to get those runs or maybe set a big
00:48 target when you're batting first.
00:50 Which I think last time when we played we probably didn't have that kind of composure
00:53 to be relaxed in the field in terms of chasing 300 plus or close to 300 here.
01:00 So yeah, they know their conditions pretty well.
01:04 They're one of the strongest sides at home and very difficult to beat but we take that
01:07 as a challenge and we're definitely looking forward to doing the same that we did in Australia.
01:12 Playing good cricket and believing in our abilities and just giving in balanced performances
01:17 every time we step on the field.
