I haven't seen so many people at a media gathering before Says Tom Latham

Kolkata Sep 29 (CRICKETNMORE): New Zealand opener Tom Latham was left awestruck on Thursday by the huge attendance at the media meet on the eve of their second Test against India at the Eden Gardens.

Not much batting practice for Gautam Gambhir at India net session.

"I haven't seen such a big gathering for a media conference before. It's great to see the passion and support for the sport in this part of the world. I am sure there will be lot of people at the ground tomorrow (Friday)," said Latham, who is on his maiden trip to India.

Admitting that the Kiwis haven't been able to tour India much, Latham said his teammates are eager to see more of the city.

Prune the grass please, Indian team management tells Eden Garden officials.

"We haven't been out of the hotel too much. We went to a mall yesterday," he said.
