New Zealand coach Gary Stead felt his pace bowlers had never been more accurate than in their 10-wicket win over India in the first test in Wellington but he expected the visitors would be more competitive in the second match in Christchurch.
Pace spearheads Tim Southee and Trent Boult returned to the side after missing New Zealand's last test against Australia in early January and combined to take 14 of the 20 Indian wickets to fall at the Basin Reserve.Southee had match figures of 9-110, while debutant Kyle Jamieson impressed with 4-39 in India's below par first innings total as the pace attack put the visitors under pressure for long periods and restricted their scoring.
"We picked up wickets at times you might consider were critical in the match ... and I guess that was the catalyst for the win.Stead said that Neil Wagner, who missed the first game to be at the birth of his first child, would join the team in Christchurch for the second test at Hagley Oval that starts on Feb. 29.
