Tragically, we couldn't stay with them for a considerable length of time [on day four] and make those leaps forward. They had the option to place a decent score and afterward coming into our subsequent innings, we were unable to fabricate organizations, particularly among our main four.
"I think there were times all through the Test match where force moved from one group to another. We had the option to remain with South Africa for significant stretches however they figured out how to get their heads in front yesterday with lower-request organizations. According to a batting perspective, we couldn't do that. Assuming we had the option to do that, things could have appeared to be unique. Both in the first and second innings," he added.

"Positively content with the side we have. We have full confidence in the side we have and the XI we put out. According to a batting perspective, in New Zealand, a few surfaces - now and then it is difficult, in some cases it isn't your day, and I thoroughly consider we've shown extensive stretches of time that we can be effective on these wickets. We had two or three people missing who will return to the crew and afterward we will reconsider."
New Zealand would have wanted to win every one of the four Test matches in the late spring. Notwithstanding, they lost a Test against Bangladesh followed by the present loss at Hagley Oval. New Zealand additionally lost a Test series in India and presently sit at the 6th situation on the ICC World Championship focuses table. They are next booked to visit England and Pakistan, other than playing a home series versus Sri Lanka.

We played some great cricket in the middle and there were a few games where we didn't exactly play our best. We have three Tests in England as our next visit and the objective there will be to prevail upon three Tests there. According to an England perspective, we played two or three Tests around there last year [including the WTC last against India], so conditions are recognizable.
"Clearly you set off to win each Test at home. At the point when we head to England, it will be significant we shift our concentration to that and prevail upon that series there. Anything Test it is, regardless of whether the first of a title cycle or the final remaining one, you set out all of the time with the aspiration of winning. So we presently center around the following Test match."
