Hyderabad, November 13:Team India bowling consultant Eric Simmons on Friday said that he was more interested in getting the process right rather than just the result.

Simmons, who addressed the media after the first day’s play, asserted that his bowlers did a decent job and kept the New Zealand run-rate under check through the day.

Excerpts:

On his bowlers:

I think that there are a lot of positives for us as far as our bowling is concerned. It’s true that the way we bowled, we could have got a few more wickets in the first session. But having said that, we will also have to remember that though we didn’t pick too many wickets, we were successful in keeping a check on their run rate.

On the No ball issue with Indian bowlers:

It is a strange problem. However, we will have to remember that bowling a no ball not only affects a bowler’s rhythm but also hamper’s his confidence. Ishant (Sharma) had a definite problem with no balls. He did have few problems at the nets, but we had no idea that it would snowball into such a major problem as was the case in Mohali (against Australia). But we are working on it and are confident about resolving it.

On Sreesanth missing out on a wicket because of No ball:

It was very frustrating for Sreesanth to see his wicket being cancelled because of the no ball. It affects the mental state of a player.

On the wicket:

It is difficult to comment on the nature of a wicket after the first day’s play. An actual analysis of the track can only be done on the third or the fourth day. What is more important for us at this juncture is the fact that there is a bit more bounce and pace in the wicket for our seamers. We will look to exploit that.
