JOURNALISTS 3. (SOUNDBITE) (English) NEW ZEALAND CAPTAIN ROSS TAYLOR SPEAKING, SAYING: "Try as much as you want, but as long as you are in the right frame of mind to not only defend well but also try to find scoring options, and you know we can't just focus on Herath (Rangana), they've got other quality bowlers that we've got to play well against." STORY: New Zealand are hoping to put in a good performance against Sri Lanka in the second and final test that begins in Colombo on Sunday (November 25) after the hosts handed the Black Caps a crushing 10-wicket defeat inside three days to claim the opening match in Galle and consign the visitors to a fifth successive test loss, their worst run in 57 years. "We just want to put on a good performance for the public, for the fans and for ourselves. You know, we know we haven't played as well as we would have liked over the past four or five months and tomorrow is another opportunity, or the start of another opportunity, to change that," said New Zealand captain Ross Taylor at a news conference in Colombo on Saturday (November 24). New Zealand have named the same eleven that lost in Galle, plus uncapped leg-spinner Todd Astle, and will make a decision on the final make-up of the side on Sunday morning. There was good news for New Zealand with fast bowler Tim Southee likely to play after recovering from a groin injury that prevented him for bowling on the final day in Galle. New Zealand's problems against spin have dominated the match build-up after Rangana Herath took 11 wickets in Galle, giving him 46 from eight tests in 2012. "Try as much as you want, but as long as you are in the right frame of mind to not only defend well but also try to find scoring options, and you know we can't just focus on Herath (Rangana), they've got other quality bowlers that we've got to play well again," said Taylor. New Zealand's spin phobia has been a key factor in five consecutive test losses against the West Indies, India and now Sri Lanka, their worst run since 1955. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will welcome back opener Tillakaratne Dilshan for the match after recovering from a back injury. Dilshan, whose last innings was an unbeaten 102 in the third match of the five-game ODI series, missed Sri Lanka's win in Galle.
