New Zealand is going target on Sehwag, and Gambhir

Cricket/New Zealand,

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Daniel Vettori believe a major part of the upcoming tour will come down to the conditions, which is alien to most of the Indian team. Vettori said that though the pitches had improved a lot, the weather could play a part in deciding many of the games.

"India have come with a formidable reputation, and they've earned it over the last couple of years with the way they've played cricket," Vettori said. "But I suppose we enjoy playing at home, we feel a lot more comfortable here and we've got a pretty good record. Hopefully those things play in our favour, but we also understand this is one of our biggest challenges.
"I think it comes back to our conditions, and hopefully we know those and we can perform in them. I think the wickets are going to be very good, the weather may play a small part in it, but the ability to contain the Indian top order, with the likes of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir in it, is probably going to be crucial to our success."
India have been trying to make the best of whatever time they have got to train here in their first week in New Zealand. "Usually we practise for two to two-and-half hours. Since we had four days here we wanted to make the most out of it," Dhoni said. "Especially when we are practising outdoors, maybe the next day it may rain and we won't get the same facilities so we were practising for three-and-a-half to four hours."
