Former New Zealand all-rounder Craig McMillan on Tuesday said Indian batsmen "throwing their hands at the ball like they do in India" will not work here.
Indian batsmen's inadequacies in adverse conditions were exposed as they crashed to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat in just over three days in the opening Test here on Monday.
"They didn't make any adjustments in the way they played, they threw their hands at the ball like they do in India," he Radio Sport.
"When the ball doesn't bounce above knee high you can get away with some of those shots - in New Zealand you don't."
"To do so against a team who had won seven straight Tests, each by a massive margin, makes it even more impressive."
