NZ vs SA 2nd Test: 'The Pitch Is Still Good For Batting', Says Colin De Grandhomme
New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme thinks that the pitch in second Test against South Africa has still got the ingredients to be a good batting wicket. De Grandhomme's career-best counter-attacking knock of 120 off 158 balls took New Zealand from 91/5 to 293 all out, conceding a lead of 71 runs to South Africa.
Though they now stare at a tall chase with South Africa currently having a lead of 211 runs, de Grandhomme has backed New Zealand to chase down the total. "I think if they get 270, we'll definitely back ourselves to get it. If they bowl well and get us out, fair enough. I think it might change only a little bit; might just get a bit slower and maybe lower but that's about it. I think it's still a good batting wicket," said de Grandhomme in the virtual press conference.
