KYLE MILLS VIEWS REGARDING INDIAN CRICKET TEAM



New Zealand's most experienced pacer Kyle Mills is "staggered" by the wealth of talent in the Indian batting order but remains optimistic that the Kiwis would be able to contain the rampaging visitors by bowling dot balls.
"It is an extremely talented batting line-up. You have somebody like Rahul Dravid who can't even make it to the line-up. It staggers me.
"Their bats seem to be made of something special. We have to try and bowl a string of dot balls and put pressure on them and break their momentum," Mills told reporters ahead of the fourth one-dayer here tomorrow.
"I look back at some Aussie teams, with Gilchrist and Hayden both in form in the same innings. It was pretty tough to bowl at them. But at the moment there is (Virender) Sehwag, who some say is in the form of his life. Then you have (Sachin) Tendulkar and (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni. You get a wicket and another very strong batsman comes in," he added.
Mills also feels that he had let his team, which trails 0-2 in the series, down by not taking wickets early in the innings.
"We had really specific plans against the batsmen, and we executed them really well in Australia. It is pretty obvious we haven't been executing them here, and we have suffered the consequences. But the plans are pretty good in general."
