Christchurch: Ross Taylor saluted their victory in the first test but warned Friday that the green Christchurch goal was far more in the help of New Zealand when he looked bent from the Cricket test with Bang.
The host was desperate to save a series of two-tests to gain momentum in the defense of their world test crown after two losses and draw in their first three matches.
The second match against Bangladesh, starting on Sunday, will be the appearance of a farewell test for Taylor, the most productive Zealand Run scorer.
This will be the 112nd test, equaling Daniel Vettori as the most closed test player New Zealand.
Bangladesh’s surprise beat eight New Zealand’s goal on Mount Maunganui this week “good for world cricket”, said Taylor 37 years.
“We are played all the time.
But for the Cricket test game to survive, we need Bangladesh to become a developing country and I think they will get a lot of confidence from it.” But no one will give Taylor’s pleasure greater than avoiding a series defeat and signing with victory.
“We are one-nile, we know we have to play some aggressive crickets, but also the basis we know how we will play and we have had a lot of success here,” he said afterwards with reasons on the state of the goal.
“I just asked if it was normal goal and he said ‘yes’,” said a smiling Taylor.
‘Normal’ in the Oval Hagley means very green and winning the throw means bowling first.
“Bowler will lick their lips and US batteries need to apply ourselves better than we do in mount.
I think this condition will be suitable for us more than they do on the mountain,” he said.
“We know what to expect and that’s the positive about being at home and on the ground where we play a lot of cricket.” Only one in eight tests in the Oval Hagley which had been withdrawn and seven to produce results, New Zealand has won six.
The person they lost, against Australia in 2016, was the separation of Brendon McCullum to test cricket and SWASHBuckling’s batsman marked the opportunity with the fastest century in the test cricket.
He raised his world-brand from 54 balls and proceeded to make 145 of the 79 shipments.
Taylor admitted it would be difficult to imitate.
“He set the bar very high.
It would be better just to win,” Taylor said.
“I don’t think there will be many people who will be able to do what he did in his last match.”
