DURBAN:Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan said his team needs to focus n a couple of issues and everyone needs to be blamed and not just the captain.
On future plans: There are issues which need to be discussed. We need to do consistently well as a team. We didn’t have wins and we need to win few matches. We need to remove the negatives in our way. As Brendon had pointed out some of our batsmen have been doing well. Morne van Wyk has been very good. And we saw Moses Henrique coming good tonight. Those are good signs and we also have David Hussey joining us soon.
On analysis of his side’s performance:If you look at our bowlers, I think Ishant has bowled well. He has been unfortunate. He probably has his worst over of the tournament in the second over. Ajit Agarkar has comeback well. Our fielding has been good but there have been occasions when we have let our team down by dropping few catches. But nonetheless if you look at the side there has been a lot of improvement and I think we have done some good things. Our approach will be focussed on putting ourselves back on the track. We have played nine games in the tournament with just one win but we have had some close matches. But everyone has stayed together and that is very important. But as Brendon has said, we have got few more matches and we must play well.
On Brendon McCullum:I think one must also feel that Brendon came into the tournament as captain under fire from everyone because we made some changes. So one should not blame only the captain. I think cricket is a team game and each one of us is responsible for our performance. Traditional sense says that the captain is responsible but, in fact, everyone is.
On performance of the South Africans: Obviously, a few have played well at different times. If you notice that there have been some Australians who have done well. There have been few Englishmen at different stages and Indians too have performed very well. I don’t think that South Africans have dominated the tournament. As I said, there have been a number of people who have done it .
On brilliant individuals failing as a team: We had a discussion about it. We are all aware about our respective successful careers. It has been pretty hard for all of us. I know that we are going to get out of this. I am not sure whether it will be this time or next year. I do know that we are going to come out of this. All we can do is try and play well. But in terms of the things, we need to improve, we will focus on one or two things rather than a range of issues. That will take time.
On things to work on: Most teams with five or four wins are experiencing the same thing which we are going through. Our objective is not to get inundated by the negatives. We have to just deal with a couple of things
