Will Young Says Playing The Long Game Is The Main Takeaway From The Innings Against India
New Zealand opener Will Young said the main takeaways from his impressive knock of 85 against India in the first Test at the Green Park Stadium was to play the long game while riding the ebbs and flows of the proceedings. He added that it would be nice for him to replicate his 151-run opening stand in the first innings with fellow opener Tom Latham. Young was the second top-run scorer for New Zealand with 89 in the first-innings total of 296.
"I think it's just the ebbs and flows of a Test innings here. When I walked out to bat with Tom, there was the new ball to content with. With just two seamers in the Indian team, one has to look out for swing or bounce with some bit of sideways movement. You get through that phase and then you face spin with the new ball and hard seam while you are conversing and communicating with what's working in terms of options," said Young while replying to a question from IANS in the virtual press conference.
