Crowe admits it's a tall task
MORATUWA, Shri Lanka. Nov 30: New Zealand skipper Martin Crowe said his team would have
to work hard to save the first Test here after Shri Lanka ended the third day in a commanding position after hammering a weak bowling attack, reports AFP.
"Obviously, the Shri Lankans are in the box seat ... we have a lot of work to do to get to a position to save it (the match)," Crowe told reporters here Sunday after Shri Lanka had made 299 for four in reply to New Zealand's 288.
He said that when play resumed Tuesday after today's rest day, the Kiwis would have to prevent Shri Lanka from piling up a huge first innings total and then bat out the remaining sessions to save the match.
"We Just have to keep going .. we realise we probably have to bat out the last four sessions to save the Test," said Crowe, acknowledging that the lack of a spinner made It difficult for an inexperienced all-seam attack.
But he defended New Zealand's decision to go into the match without a specialist spinner because it was difficult to do so without knowing the players’ form and "We went tn with some ideas but they didn't work out.”
For the first Test, New Zealand left out off-spinner Grant Bradbum who was here as replacement to top off-spinner Dipak Patel, one of five key players to return home after a bomb blast outside the squad s Colombo hotel.
Meanwhile Shri Lanka’s right-arm off-cutter Jayananda Warnaweera brushed aside remarks by Crowe that he was "a chucker." Crowe fell to Warnaweera Friday when he tried to pull the bowler and was held at mid- wicket.
"I am not bothered about what he says. Anyone can say anything about my bowling and I will Just ignore those com ments," said Warnaweera, who was recalled for thia match after playing In three previous Tests.
Crowe called Warnaweera
was "a real chuckcr" who had got away with it" but said New Zealand would not pursue the matter further because the Shri Lankan umpires had pointed out that the bowler had not been found fault with earlier.
"Well, we had to forget about It. He went to New Zealand, he went to India and no umpire called him. So he's lucky to get away with it. It's good for him," said Crowe.
Crowe said that although he dropped Shri Lankan opener Roshan Mahanama on 36 and 105, the local hero played a great innings to make a career-best 153 and contribute more than half of his team's total.
