‘Nor far, nor down’

Having surprised India in the second ODI, New Zealand pacer Tim Southee on Saturday said the strength of the side lies in the fact that they don't get "too far ahead of ourselves" nor "too down of ourselves" when the results are not going in their favour.

New Zealand shocked India by six runs in the second One-day International in New Delhi to register their first win of the tour.

"I think the strength of our side is that we don't get too far ahead of ourselves and we don't get too down of ourselves when the results don't go our way. We prepare the same way before every match and I don't think you can let what's happened in the game before influence the game you are preparing for," Southee said addressing a prematch press conference.
