After taking nine wickets in the first Test against India, Kiwi pacer Tim Southee on Monday said that when it comes to bowling, it is just about the putting the ball in the right areas. His remarks came as New Zealand defeated India in the first Test by ten wickets. The Kiwis bowled out India for just 191 in the second innings and as a result, they just had to chase nine runs for the win.

The hosts chased down the total in just 1.4 overs to go 1-0 up in the two-match series. With this result, Kiwis have become the first side to defeat India in the World Test Championship so far. "It was not the typical wind that plays a factor in Wellington, it was quite still and the sun was out so we were able to move the ball and put it in the right areas," Southee told reporters after the conclusion of the first Test. "Being a swing bowler, it helps me to extract the conditions. The wind is assisting me, it is about putting the ball in the right areas. Every time you take the field, you want to do a job for the team. It is nice to be out there in the whites," he added.
