Champions never look for easy targets. it is the job of under performers...real champs never care who is before them. they do what they do every time every where before every one...so why you care about ease may I know?
SA conditions last 7-8 years have changed, are more like sub-continent.
There are no 'pitches' in NZ, since its all covered with grass esp for indians. Conditions are most hostile there. Even likes of tendulkars, dravids have struggled there - I wont be surprised if indians have worst batting record in kiwis.
Dont be surprised if we see score lines like 100/7 ...150 all out etc
NZ has most chilly & windy conditions that can make your bones shiver.The grounds are not adequately covered that allows strong winds to enter the playing area to make one almost numb.I hope he make some runs in company of Kohli to save the blushes from another overseas defeat

It's summer over there right now. And cold conditions we too have here in North India. Forgot the Indo-Pak ODI in Jan 2013 that was played with min temp around 1 degree C. While the match was being played during the second inning, the temperature was between 5 and 8 degrees C. NZ won't be colder than this right now.
He could be an asset in one day squad world cup to be played in Australia & New Zealand,We need somebody like him to anchor our team in trying condition like Australia.
raeson for non inclution of poojara in one day international is he is not a good fielder. MSD will not select bad fielders. if poojara can improve his fielding he will be selected in the one day team. poojara is a good batsman no dout about that.

good question. ashwin is a good bowler. we have no other option. in the spin dippartment.. ohja and misra are not good fielders. and ashwin is an alrounder. where as poojara is only a good batsman. for inclusion of poojara we have to remove either raina or rohit. both of them where good fielders. do you know MR raina is only in the team do to his fielding.
