Hesson pondering changes

Sports Reporter
New Zealand coach Mike Hesson has said that frontline pacer Tim Southee, who is injured and missed the first Test, is unlikely to play the second Test which begins at Mirpur next week. Uesson however stated that the team management would wait on him before finalising the squad.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference at a city hotel yesterday he said, "We'll make an assessment closer to the time, but he [Southee) is probably unlikely for the second Test. Within our squad we have got options, but we will wait forTim, he is invaluable."
Hesson believed that the result of the first Test was a clear reflection of the game based on the conditions on the field, but was unhappy with the wicket at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
"I think it needs just a bit more in it, whether it is pace or bounce - it would have created more opportunities. The new ball on most wickets plays a big part but once the ball gets soft, there were some decent bowlers that couldn't get a lot out of it. I think spectators on both sides would've liked a bit more pace or bounce," he said.
The Kiwis, who played an extra spinner in the first Test, might go on to change their strategy in the second and according to the coach might play an extra seamer.
"We haven't seen the wicket yet. Within our squad we've got options. We've got other seamers that are fresh and if the wicket deserves that to be considered, then we'll consider it. We could play an extra seamer, we could go with an extra batter. We have lots of options, which is one of the best strengths of our side," he said.
Hesson also praised Bangladesh's two stand-our performers - Mominul Haque and
Shohag Gazi - in the first Test.
With regards to Mominul he said, "We didn't have a lot of footage on him, but we had enough. We knew we had to bowl straight to him. We started a bit wide and bowled a few full ones. And he had a bit of luck; he sliced a few through the gaps. But he played extremely well. 180 in a Test match is a fine effort,"
"He [Gazi] bowled a lot of overs and for him to still be creating opportunities on the fifth day shows that he can sustain pressure. I think he got better as the Test went on. At the start he was a little bit flat and gave us some scoring opportunities," he added.
With Eid coming ahead, the visitors are planning on taking a break and playing some golf on Thursday. They will also be hitting the gym. They are scheduled to report for their first training session on Friday.
