I dont mind the surfaces because I feel its the same for everyone, New Zealander Vettori said. It doesnt feel like the toss is the key ingredient you almost know what to expect.
You turn up and you can see that its going to be this type of wicket and you can prepare for it. I think that allows some skill to come into it, some perseverance and some fortitude around the things that you have to do.
The batting group, hearing them talk, has started to bind to that as well. A score of 30 could be a great day. Its how you get that 30 that makes such a difference. The challenge is in accepting it more than anything. Thats easier said than done.
Australias Nathan Lyon claimed 11 of the 20 wickets in Indore and has been well backed in the series by the likes of newcomers Matt Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy.
