Amid the disappointment of having lost a Test, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson felt the team had the skill to compete but has asked his team-mates to apply them for much longer durations. There were times when New Zealand had India under pressure, the batsmen combating unfamiliar conditions, but such is the dominance of Indias spinners in their own conditions that New Zealand still lost by a whopping 197 runs. Williamson identified the breaks in concentration as something that could be improved despite the short turnover involved while playing three back-to-back Tests.On the scorecard it looks like a biggish defeat, but there were a couple of moments that I would reflect on as where the game turned slightly more in their favour, he said. The back end of our first innings with the bat and certainly when we bowled in the second innings there was probably a three-hour period where we didnt bowl very well and they got away from us. Its a combination of us not quite being at our best at certain times, and they played very well.New Zealand lost the toss in Kanpur but had competed with India evenly for the first six sessions. They had five wickets in hand and a first-innings lead was only 63 runs away when they collapsed from 255 for 5 to 262 all out. India ended up with a 56-run advantage - which is as good as 150 in these conditions - and it showed in how demoralised the New Zealand bowlers were in the second innings, and how freely the India batsmen were able to score.Obviously, whenever you lose its disappointing, Williamson said, but credit certainly has to go to India. Theyre a good side, particularly in their home conditions and they showed that again. In saying that, there are certainly positives for us to take from this Test into the next one. The way Mitch Santner played, and Luke Ronchi, coming back into the side [making 38 and 80] were a couple of highlights. As a unit we want to be able to apply that pressure for longer, which isnt always easy in this part of the world against a side like India. But its certainly a challenge for us moving forward.New Zealand have three days left for the next Test in Kolkata. They would need to recover physically, and then figure out ways to be better, both individually and as a team.The first thing is the guys need to recover well, Williamson said. There were a lot of good things to come out of this game, and for a number of players it is their first time batting in these sort of conditions. There will be a lot of lessons learnt, reflecting on those and looking to apply the skills that worked for a period of time for a lot longer. Thats certainly what the Indian players do, it is very important.[R] Ashwin and [Ravindra] Jadeja are both very good bowlers but there were a lot of positives for us, Williamson said. Guys who hadnt played here before spent some valuable time in the middle and made some valuable contributions. Mitch Santner for one and Luke Ronchi another who certainly showed they had the skill-sets to perform well in these conditions. I do think its applying ourselves for longer.As he had said in the lead-up to the Kanpur Test, Williamson pointed out how his team could learn from India. It is a challenge against a very good attack but they [the New Zealand players] have got the skill-sets, and its being able to stick to it for a lot longer. That is the same with the ball for our young spin attack, who are extremely talented. Being over here in these hot conditions, being able to remain focussed for a long period because you know if you put the ball in the area for long enough, youll get your rewards. Thats what the Indian team showed us.One of the reasons for Williamson hoping New Zealand could put up a better fight as the series wore on was Santner, who became the first player from his country to aggregate more than 100 runs and five wickets in a Test since 2011.He played outstandingly well, Williamson said. Its his first time in this part of the world playing Test cricket, and it was a great step in the right direction for his game. We all know he has got the talent with bat and ball and in the field. To apply himself like he did and bowl a number of overs and be successful was very good against good players of spin. It was a huge positive for us. Hell look forward to the next one, and Im sure hes learnt a lot from this experience.Martin Guptill, on the other hand, had an underwhelming Test with 21 in the first innings and a duck in the second. Williamson didnt say if Guptills position was in threat yet. This game has just finished so we get to sit down and talk about whatever the team may be for the next one and what balance will go in with. In the first innings, he got off to a good start and was perhaps a bit unfortunate in the second innings, but he has certainly shown his class in the white-ball format and we are backing him to show that in the red-ball [format]. He is working hard at his game and looking to improve. It isnt the easiest of places to play sometimes. Well sit down in the next day or two and look at the side we might go with.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday.(Sports Network) - Josh Johnson used to be a Cy Young Award candidate. Tim Lincecum has earned the honour twice. The two right-handers will go at it when the Toronto Blue Jays pay a quick visit to the San Francisco Giants Tuesday at AT&T Park. Johnson gets the nod in the first of two straight by the bay and is coming off a lengthy stint on the disabled list because of inflammation in his right biceps. Johnson last pitched in an 8-4 win over the New York Yankees on April 21 and did not receive a decision, allowing four runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. The big righty made three rehab appearances in the minor leagues and manager John Gibbons is happy Johnson is healthy again. "Yeah, hes good to go because he felt fine," Gibbons told the clubs website. "Its rare when you see guys, big league pitchers, go down and pitch in the Minor Leagues; they usually get pounded pretty good. "Id almost be surprised if he didnt, if you want to know the truth. Why that happens, I dont know, but you see it all the time. But the key is, hes healthy." Johnson gave up seven earned runs in his 11 2/3 innings in stints with Class-A Dunedin and two in Buffalo, the Jays Triple-A affiliate. Johnson is 0-3 in six career starts against San Francisco and 0-2 with a 3.00 ERA in four career starts at AT&T Park. Righthander Ramon Ortiz was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday with a right elbow strain and outfielder Rajai Davis was activated from the DL. Lincecum is fighting to remain in the rotation and has been off so far this season. He has lost three straight starts and five of six decisions, and last appeared in a 9-6 setback to Oakland on Wednesday, when he was touched for six runs, five earned, and seven hits in a season-low 4 1/3 innings. "He is a little bit of an enigma," Giants skipper Bruce Bochy said of Lincecum. "His stuff is there. He has really good innings. Hes just in a rut where at the critical part of a game, he makes a mistake." The rut in which Bochy was referring to includes a 3-5 record in 11 starts to go along with a 5.12 earned run average. Lincecum faced the Blue Jays in his rookie campaign of 2007 and was dealt the loss on June 13, as he gave up seven runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings with six Ks and four walks. San Francisco lost both of its meetings in Toronto from May 14-15 and is just 1-5 in the past six matchups between the teams. The Giants were outscored, 21-9, in thosee two games north of the border and will welcome back All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera, who was suspended last season for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.dddddddddddd Cabrera was left off the Giants postseason roster when his suspension was served. The defending World Series champion Giants proved they didnt need Cabrera, who was grateful for the opportunity. "(The Giants) treated me really well when I played there and they gave me an opportunity to play every day and I had a great time playing for them," Cabrera said through an interpreter. San Francisco salvaged the finale of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals with Sundays 4-2 win behind Brandon Belts pinch-hit two-run double in the top of the seventh inning. Buster Posey was 4-for-4 with a run scored for the Giants, who won for only the second time in seven tries and sit two games behind Arizona for the NL West lead. Chad Gaudin started for the Giants and earned the win by holding the Cardinals to a pair of runs in six innings. Jeremy Affeldt hurled 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief and Sergio Romo pitched the rest of the game to record his 15th save of the season. "He went out there and threw strikes, quality strikes," Bochy said of Gaudin. "He just did a great job. He actually went a little further than we even thought." Giants outfielder Angel Pagan (strained left hamstring) sat out for the eighth straight game and is questionable for Tuesday. Toronto is just 2-3 on a seven-game road trip, but ended a three-game losing streak with Sundays 7-4 win in 11 innings at San Diego. Mark DeRosa homered, Anthony Gose had an RBI bunt single and Jose Bautista doubled in Gose in the top of the 11th inning. Edwin Encarnacion homered and Adam Lind collected three hits and two RBI for the Blue Jays. Casey Janssen got the win with a scoreless 10th inning and Aaron Loup posted his second save in the 11th. A total of six Toronto relievers kept the Padres off the board and starter Ramon Ortiz lasted only two innings, allowing four runs and five hits. "We werent able to solve them," Padres manager Bud Black said of the Jays. "We looked as if we were having some good swings against Ortiz and then when they went to their pen, we couldnt solve any of their guys. We just couldnt muster any offense, cant explain it, but their bullpen did a nice job this series." ' ' '
