MS Dhoni has a superior team on paper, and proved that in the first Test, but India need to guard against complacency. While they've been winning more frequently overseas since 2000, series wins haven't been that easy to come by. The last time they won the first Test of a series outside the subcontinent - against South Africa in 2006-07 - they promptly lost the next two to lose the series. However, Dhoni has plenty of incentive to ensure that this isn't repeated: India haven't won a series in New Zealand since 1967-68, and a victory in Napier will break that dry spell, and also bring up their 100th Test win.

Superb hundreds from Daniel Vettori and Jesse Ryder dragged New Zealand from the depths of 60 for 6 to a relatively respectable 279 on a well-grassed but true pitch at Seddon Park. By stumps, India had knocked off 29 with Virender Sehwag looking in ominously good touch. India dominated the first session and the final hour, but the defiant 186-run stand, a record for the seventh wicket for New Zealand against India, could still be pivotal to the outcome of the match. The rest of the batsmen contributed next to nothing, while India's three seamers took all but one of the wickets to fall.

What was especially eye-catching was the positivity with which New Zealand scripted the revival. Ryder was fortunate to survive a leg-before shout from Zaheer Khan when he had made 37 while Dravid put down a difficult chance at slip when Vettori had 77, but those apart, India struggled to create wicket-taking opportunities. Far too many edges went through gaps in the slip cordon, and a couple of run-out chances were fluffed as Vettori and Ryder ran the visitors ragged.

New Zealand scored 270 for 5 in the Seddon Park ODI, and Sehwag and Gambhir ransacked 201 runs off 23.3 overs before rain handed India victory by the D/L method. The Test-match pitch, according to Vettori, "will be pretty flat". "Maybe win the toss and bat first, but we just have to wait and see how it shapes up," he said. "There is a little bit of live grass on it but generally it is a pretty good deck here."

Dhoni felt that the conditions would help the seamers more than the pitch. "Looks like a good wicket, definitely there will be a bit of help for the seamers," he said "More than the wicket, the conditions will favour bowlers, the ball will move."

The weather in Hamilton on the two days leading up to the Test has been hot and clear. However, there are showers forecast for the second and third days of the match.

New Zealand have played 14 Tests in Hamilton of which they've won six, lost two and drawn six. Their win-loss ratio of 3.00 at Seddon Park is the best among all home venues. India have played three Tests here, losing one and drawing two.

Dravid has scored 341 runs at an average of 113.66 in two Tests in Hamilton. Ross Taylor averages 63 in his only Test at this venue while Vettori also averages a healthy 44.50 in eight Tests.

Vettori was successful in his first three Tests in Hamilton, taking 14 wickets at 21.71 apiece with a strike-rate of 53.00. However, his returns have been poor in his last five Tests here - 10 wickets at 50.00 each and a strike-rate of 122.

"You have got to take them on. The war of attrition probably won't work. I think we have got to be aggressive but in saying that, we have got to be disciplined. Those are the things we didn't quite get right in the one-day series. We didn't stick at our plans for long enough. In a Test match you just have to do that, otherwise a side like India will blow you off the park."
Vettori says his team will have to be disciplined yet aggressive in order to beat India.

"I am not bothered about whether we have won here or not. I am just bothered about the things we need to do over here as a team. We are not thinking about what happened in the past. I am not great when it comes to stats, so that really helps."

"I was very happy that we had two Twenty20 games upfront because it gave us a chance to settle down. You will find that at the beginning of tours, the visiting team always inevitably struggles. I remember when I came here with South Africa, they sent us down to Dunedin, it was about 4 degrees and we never won a game. Equally, when a team comes to South Africa, they get sent to Kimberley in 38 degree heat and they never win a game there. Some people enjoy a bit of game time, others don't mind it."

But Rahul Dravid, for one, felt differently. In the past, he has termed the circumstance of walking straight into a Test match not ideal, but unavoidable. But Kirsten said Dravid and the other Test specialists wouldn't have much reason to complain about their preparations.

"The one issue we have had is that some guys feel they need game time if they haven't had much game time back home," Kirsten said. "All the Test players have played a lot of cricket back home at the moment. So they have had the game time. Dravid has come off a couple of hundreds in the Duleep Trophy and he has got a hundred here [for Canterbury]. He is in game mode already.

"We went to Sri Lanka last year and our Test players didn't have much game time because there wasn't any cricket on in India. We felt we were a bit under-cooked in that series. I guess game time is important, it doesn't necessarily have to be on the tour."

India take on New Zealand in the fifth ODI in Auckland on Saturday before the first Test begins in Hamilton on March 18.

The sparse crowds in New Zealand have been treated to all kinds of good batting: Virender Sehwag's aggressive fifties at the top, Sachin Tendulkar's masterful 163, Jesse Ryder's maiden century in a losing cause, and McCullum's ability to score despite him not being at his best. The bowlers, however, seem to have gone missing, with the exception of Daniel Vettori and, to a certain extent, Harbhajan Singh.

Well Vettori did go missing in the third game, physically, to be with his wife who gave birth to their first child. For India, Praveen Kumar has been canny in patches, but ordinary at other times. Zaheer Khan and Kyle Mills, the men with big reputations, haven't been effective.

By now the bowlers must have started feeling for each other; they are a community that has been schemed against. They will also know that extra effort is necessary because the bowling conditions are unlikely to improve. It's a tough challenge with only a two-day gap between highly-charged games. In fact there was only a day's gap before the Christchurch ODI, during which the teams had to travel.

New Zealand (likely) 1 Jesse Ryder, 2 Brendon McCullum, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Jacob Oram, 6 Peter McGlashan (wk), 7 Grant Elliott, 8 Daniel Vettori (capt), 9 Ewen Thompson, 10 Kyle Mills, 11 Iain O'Brien.

India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Rohit Sharma, 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Praveen Kumar, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Zaheer Khan.

New Zealand's best bowler has been their captain Daniel Vettori but he's had to perform damage control because the fast bowlers have bowled without consistency and conceded too many. Ian Butler was the best of the fast bowlers in Wellington, bowling short of a length on middle and off stump. Kyle Mills, however, was yet to find his direction while Jacob Oram was steady. Their bowling unit needs to perform collectively to restrict a powerful Indian line-up. The plan is to adopt a fuller line but whether it will work remains to be seen.

Watch out for ...

Martin Guptill: He blasted 41 off 28 balls in the series opener and has scores of 10 (given lbw despite an inside edge) and 64 since then. Guptill is a fierce puller and the short square boundaries at the AMI Stadium will be to his liking.

Yuvraj Singh: He's got going only in one innings so far, scoring 50 off 34 balls while falling in single digits the other three times. If he can overcome his troubles against spin and lateral movement, Yuvraj could cause serious damage in Christchurch.

Team news

Brendon McCullum has not recovered completely from a thumb injury and so New Zealand are likely to field the same XI as in Wellington, with Peter McGlashan as wicketkeeper.

New Zealand: 1 Jesse Ryder, 2 Brendon McCullum, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Jacob Oram, 6 Peter McGlashan (wk), 7 Grant Elliott, 8 Daniel Vettori (capt), 9 Kyle Mills, 10 Ian Butler, 11 Iain O'Brien

India are unlikely to rush Ishant Sharma, who missed the first two games with a shoulder injury, either. "He [Ishant] bowled a bit but I think he will take a few more days of rest, at least two more days," Dhoni said yesterday. "It will be quite tight for the Christchurch game as of now."

India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Praveen Kumar, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Munaf Patel, 11 Zaheer Khan.

A total of 24 sixes were hit in the first Twenty20 international at the AMI Stadium. There may not be as many on Sunday but if the weather stays clear the runs should flow because of the small boundaries. The trick, however, will be trying to steal ones, twos and threes on a small field. The weather on the eve of the match was warm and sunny but there is a 20% chance of rain on Sunday.

In the first ODI in Napier, the Indian batsmen played to a plan and the bowlers took early wickets as they thoroughly outplayed the hosts. New Zealand's carefully executed plans, which derailed India during the Twenty20s, came unstuck.

Daniel Vettori, New Zealand's captain, was not a happy man after the loss because his plans weren't executed properly. But on the eve of the second match, he sounded confident about getting it right this time.

Before the start of the series, New Zealand last played India in an ODI back in September 2005. Those were the days of Venugopal Rao, Mohammad Kaif, JP Yadav, Ajit Agarkar and Ashish Nehra. Four years later, what New Zealand face is a dynamic and highly unpredictable side. Acknowledging this, Vettori said: "We've got to realise that to compete against India you have to be near-best."

Facing the prospect of going two-down in a five-match series, New Zealand couldn't have come to a better venue than the Westpac Stadium. They haven't lost an international here since December 2005.
