IND vs SA: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate emphasised that the team is carrying a sense of desperation to win the ODI series against the Proteas, and will go all-out in the Vizag decider to turn their fate around.
00:00In both the past two or eights, like the second part, we have been taking out the orders in search of those externals to make up for the new factor.
00:12But how much does it, like the presence of 8, 9, 10, which includes Kuldi, Hatshidrana, does it make the lower orders sort of a great place in search of quick runs?
00:28Is there an element of responsibility that comes into it?
00:38Obviously you don't want to go too early and expose their tail to the last five or six overs.
00:43And I think we've done pretty well with that.
00:46I think the slight slowdown you saw in both games in terms of the run rate was a combination of the wickets slowing up a little bit as the ball got older.
00:57And then obviously when you guys come to the wickets, because of that, it does take a little bit of time to get settled.
01:01But we spoke about it now exactly at that point, you know, how we're going to manage the tail and how we can go a little bit harder.
01:08But having said that, I think the two scores we posted, we did take into account the due factor and we sort of did put a premium on the amount of runs that we wanted to get.
01:18And you know, the due factor is so big, it's obviously not our fault, but it is our responsibility to find a way to get around that.
01:28And I think we're doing pretty well in the baton department on that.
01:35Yeah, obviously we take those things into account.
01:49I don't think pressure ever goes away for this team, you know, bilateral series when the series is on the line, that is an element of pressure there in itself.
01:58But you know, we try to focus on the process, we try to assess what's going to be a good score and then the batting unit has to go about getting it.
02:17It is a confidence builder to know guys who have done it in the past and obviously we've assessed this as a high scoring ground with fairly small boundaries.
02:26But the biggest challenge again is going to be sort of the disparity between batting first and batting second.
02:31I think it's becoming more prominent in one day cricket and that is the real challenge right there.
02:37Right, just on that, would you sort of advocate an earlier start to minimize the impact of the due and the fees.
02:47We seem to be, as a radical truth, how do we reconcile to the fact that we have more specialists in the white world that get done in our equality?
02:54Just on the timing, I think it's, you know, the fact that the due kind of falls as the second inning starts, it means that the due is there for the whole time.
03:07So a different start time, yeah, could bring that effect down a little bit.
03:12If you started two hours early, that is a solution, but obviously there's so many moving parts at play in terms of broadcasting, etc.
03:18So, I guess that's a futile conversation. And then, sorry, what did you say about the management?
03:24Yeah, as a manager, I would probably be concerned about the fact that in the scene you'd have more specialists in the white body level than in the red body level.
03:31Yeah, I guess that's a bit of an anomaly, you know, you'd think test cricket, you'd have more specialists.
03:36But it's just where we are at the moment in the cycle and the guys we think at the moment are the best guys to represent the team.
03:43You know, ideally in test cricket you have a more solid base of batters and bowlers, but we feel at the moment the guys who are doing the job for us just happen to be all-rounders.
03:56I just think it's picking your best 11 and that's just the way it's bowling at the moment.
04:02And is there anything prep-wise that you can do to deal with the team in training with wet balls or something? Is that something that India does?
04:12And secondly, just having one ball after 34 overs, does that increase the gap in terms of the team that people are side bowling second and side bowling first?
04:25Look, we're doing all the practical prep stuff, guys bowling with wet balls. Again, you know, like setting out our store to get a premium score,
04:35figuring out how to defend what's best to bowl with the wet ball when there's dew on the grass.
04:40The two balls, if I just think about it logically, you're going to have, you know, the whole point of going to one ball after 34 overs is that the ball does get a chance to wear and to get a bit softer.
04:53But you're right, the flip side of that is that you've got one ball that's getting more wet, essentially.
04:57I think the umpires have been very good in allowing ball changes. But then, of course, you end up getting a slightly harder ball, which negates the whole point of going down to the one ball.
05:08But like I said, you know, the thing that's impressed me about this group this week is we know the challenges.
05:14I haven't heard anyone complain and the mountain is all about, you know, it's our responsibility to find ways around these challenges.
05:21And that's just another one we've got to find a solution for.
05:25Ryan, as you just mentioned, the series is on the line. Do you think that the team will render more pressure because what has happened in the test series?
05:33So just after the test series, is this good year you've spent too much time?
05:37Yeah, of course. It's a very different personnel of players. But the guys are very aware of the responsibility of what they're representing.
05:48We always want to win. But yeah, certainly when when a few losses do start stacking up and performances have been below what we expect from ourselves.
05:57Yeah, I think there's a slight desperation to win the series tomorrow.
06:02Ryan, last match in 358 wasn't enough.
06:07Do you think that last 10 overs if we had put up a little more and 25 runs more, 358 is a huge total goal.
06:16And it could have been different?
06:19I do think so. And what I alluded to earlier is that we're actually trying to factor that into our batting.
06:25You know, in the start of the first game, we thought 320 sort of par and then we put a premium on that 350.
06:31And we thought that the game in RIPO were the same. We thought 360, even given the due coming, it was a good effort to get that score.
06:38You always want more runs. And again, the conversations have been around.
06:42How can we maximize what we said about guys starting the inning slightly later on?
06:46What are the better options? We've just had a good chat around that.
06:49But yeah, you've got to maximize. And then even then, sometimes the conditions make it tough.
06:55But again, the responsibility is to find ways of in tough conditions.
06:59How can the bowlers now bring us 15, 20 runs closer, and the fielders as well.
07:03And those are the things that guys are working on.
07:06Yeah, correct. So we've talked about the team.
07:10So everyone is defined.
07:12When it comes to Washington City, he won't have a seven oversaw on the two matches.
07:16Was it due to the conditions I was coming up to you?
07:19How does it affect his confidence being a premium spinner getting seven oversaw on the two matches?
07:25Look, I think when it comes to a finger spinner, you're obviously looking at match-ups for left-hander,
07:29and essentially Washi is one of the six bowlers if you're looking at it that way.
07:35Washi and Jodeo, you've got three seamers, you've got Kuldeep as your wicket-taking spinner,
07:38and then the two to make up the six overs.
07:41So there's always going to be, in those conditions particularly,
07:43we're not going to bowl more than 20 overs of spin.
07:46Has it affected his confidence? No.
07:48I think Washi is still learning, particularly when it comes to batting.
07:52It's become a very specialized role now, coming in the middle overs with five fielders in the ring.
07:57There are certain things he wants to work on.
08:01No, it won't affect his confidence.
08:03He's had a very good 12 months Washi, or even more, 16 months.
08:07He's played some good cricket, and two games where he hasn't featured won't affect his confidence.
08:12But given the option, you'll be chasing a little bit better than Washi?
08:20Absolutely, yeah. I think I'll be very surprised if anyone wins the toss and decides not to chase here.
08:28The due factor is, we're actually trying to put a number on it, and it varies between 10 and 20% what a big difference it makes.
08:37So this time of year, with the start time, I think everyone wants to chase.
08:42I think we won in a million statistically at the moment, so if we can go at two million tomorrow, that'll be pretty impressive.
08:58But again, you know, it's a bit of a joke, but the responsibility or the preparation is to beat whatever's put in front of us, and eventually we're going to win a toss somewhere.
