ZIM vs NZ: Mitchell Santner gave a big statement
After winning the second Test match against Zimbabwe, captain Mitchell Santner said – very good match. We bowled really well in the first innings, and the boys overcame some tough periods with the bat and then made the most of it.
We talked about keeping our level of play high, we felt we could have done a little better with the bat in the first innings, so didn’t want to miss any chances this time. (About the new players) It’s never easy to play your first match, but they have adapted beautifully.
