Collingwood satisfied

Kirsten won't count India out

PTI, Chennai
England's experienced batsman Paul Collingwood reckons his unfinished partnership with Andrew Stiauss on Saturday will serve as an exam -pie for his teammates who just have to "change their mindset" when playing in sub-continental conditions.
With England losing three quick wickets in their second essay of the first Test against India, it was left to Collingwood (60) and first innings centurion Strauss (73) to put on an unfinished 129-run partnership that steered the visitors to a comfortable 172 for three at stumps on the third day.
"We lost three quick wickets. It was important that we made a partnership there. It is a crucial one. I was confident at the crease." Collingwood said after the match.
"It is very satisfying for the kind of innings we played. As a
player you do realise situations and make a contribution. Today it was one of such situations," he said.
"It is not a technique adjustments but it is about maximum adjustments all the time. We do them all the time. In such adverse conditions it is more about mind set. I have been through (his kind of situations in the past," Collingwood said.
He said it was imperative for the batsmen to concentrate hard in Indian conditions, particularly against the spinners.
”1 made good of my batting. When you play in India you require utmost concentration and one silly mistake against the spinners and you are gone," he said.
Meanwhile, England may have got the upperhand but India coach Gary Kirsten said the hosts were not out of the first Test yet, insisting that his wards would raise their game in the next two days.
Kirsten, however, asserted that his wards have it in them
to turn things around in the next two days.
" This team is capable of doing anything. We believe that players in this team are capable of coming up with special stuff on the cricket field. We are not going to wake up tomorrow [Sunday) think ing that we have lost," Kirsten said after the day's play.
"It's still a long way to go in this Test match and England have played very well to get themselves into the position they are in. But still 180 overs to go," he added.
Kirsten also brushed aside suggestions that Team India was not well-prepared for the Test and perhaps took the Englishmen, whom it drubbed 5-0 in the GDI series, lightly.
"Absolutely not. We have prepared well for the Test. Strauss has batted exceptionally well in this Test. He understood the conditions and the bowlers. We certainly had some plans for him but he made sure what he really needed to do and played well," he said.
