NZ Coach Gary Stead Admits 'misreading Pitch' In Wellington Test Against Aus

By IANS News March 04, 2024 • 13:24 PM View: 929

Gary Stead: Head coach Gary Stead admitted New Zealand had misjudged the pitch of Basin Reserve in the series opener, accepting that the hosts got their selection wrong for the first Test against Australia in Wellington.

In the first Test, New Zealand opted for a four-man pace attack, leaving out left-arm spin all-rounder Mitchell Santner.

However, on day three, the pitch began to favour spin, leading to Glenn Phillips taking 5-45 in the second innings, while Australian spinner Nathan Lyon claimed ten wickets as the visitors cruised to a 172-run victory in the New Zealand capital last week.
