IND vs NZ, 1st Test Day 5 Live: This is what Glenn Phillips said before the game

“It’s about trying to be involved in all parts of the game. As a batsman you only get one chance and it’s a bit fickle, so I like to deal with the ball too, especially in Test cricket. It’s all about the attitude.” I also enjoy my time a bit when it comes to speed and power, but fun will always be key for us, we thought if we could get one or two wickets and stem the run- river, we had a chance. They (India) put us under pressure but our bowlers bowled well and that put us in a crucial position.
