New Zealand legspinner Ish Sodhi has said that learning to expect less from himself helped him forge a successful comeback to the Test team. Sodhi had spent nearly two years out of the Test side, before earning a recall for New Zealands two-Test series against Zimbabwe on the back of impressive performances in limited-overs cricket, most notably in the World T20 in India earlier in the year.Sodhi played an important role in New Zealands 2-0 sweep over the hosts, picking up eight wickets in the two Tests at 24.87. With New Zealand now gearing up for the next leg of their African sojourn - a two-Test series against South Africa - Sodhi reflected on his successful comeback while addressing the media in Durban, where the first Test begins on Friday.It was obviously very nice to win two Tests away from home, in pretty flat conditions. To take 20 wickets on those surfaces is obviously a very good effort for us, and, personally, Im pretty happy with the way the ball came out, mainly in the second Test, he said. I think I tried to lose a bit of the expectations I had on myself being away from the Test side for a couple of years. To be able to do that was pretty pleasing.Sodhi further felt improving his fitness was an important step, and along with a change in approach, helped him hit the right areas more consistently. I think Im trying to keep it a lot simpler. I guess thats probably why I played a little bit more white-ball cricket for New Zealand , because I was able to be a lot more consistent with my lines and lengths. But also, I think its something to keep reinforcing, because in the first Test match, I was a little bit nervous and I didnt stick to those processes as well as I could, he said. But, grateful that I got another opportunity and I was able to do that, so just a good reinforcer to keep things simple and put the ball in decent areas for long periods of time.And I got a lot fitter. I dont think I was fit enough to be able to bowl in the second innings when I first started playing cricket. I feel like now - still got a way to go - but definitely getting a bit closer to that now.In the last few months, Sodhi, along with left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, has established himself as a vital cog in New Zealands bowling unit. The two were among the driving forces behind New Zealands march to the World T20 semifinal, exploiting the conditions to good effect. Weve played a lot of cricket together. If you look back at domestic cricket, we played a lot of T20 tournaments and one-day tournaments. Havent played a lot of four-day cricket together, so its quite nice having him at the other end here as well, he said.But, yeah, I really enjoy working with Mitchy, on and off the park. Hes a good friend of mine as well, so look forward to continuing that partnership. Again, its about keeping it simple as much as we can and he helps me with that with his bowling as well.Weve got myself and Mitchy at 23 and 24, and Pidgy (Mark Craig) is 29 or 30 years old now, so hes got a pretty wise head on his shoulders. Even while he wasnt playing the last game, he was always giving me some advice if he felt it was needed. Mitchy is a simple bowler, so I take both of those things and put them into my work and its pretty nice to have those ideas to bounce off.New Zealand had a couple of days off upon arriving in Durban, with some of their members enjoying a stint at the golf course, while others headed off for some shark-cage diving, but Sodhi said theyre ready to get back to training. Totally different challenge, something that were really looking forward to, he said of the conditions in South Africa. Being able to adapt to different conditions has been a strength for us for the last few years, and well look to do the same. When we see the wicket tomorrow, it could be low and slow, it could be a little bit zippy for the pace bowlers, but weve definitely got all the players to take those conditions on.New Zealand will take on a slightly weakened South African side that will be without AB de Villiers, who is out with an elbow injury, and Morne Morkel, who has been sidelined for four to six weeks due to a bulging disk in his back. He (de Villiers) is an amazing player, one of the best, if not the best, in the world in all formats. But you can never take a team like South Africa lightly, Sodhi said. Theyve got runs from the top order, to even the lower order and theyve got the bowlers that can back them up in any conditions, so its just about how much we prepare over these next three days of training, and if we put in the work, hopefully we can put up a good performance.Sodhi said that while hes still learning what it takes to succeed in each of the three formats, hes enjoying his time playing all of them. Yeah, loving it, its definitely something that I always wanted to do, which is play all three formats for New Zealand, and its just interesting finding out the dynamics. Still figuring out my game in all formats as well, whats successful in which format, but it just comes down to how simple I can keep it for as long as I can. Its definitely something I want to get better at, and if I can do that while Im here, if I play or if I dont, I think Ill have a successful tour.

Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week. He has three goals and five assists through 36 games with the Leafs this season. It was a decision that could have changed the FFA Cup final and Sydney FC skipper Alex Brosque doubts whether referees had the nerve to award the Sky Blues a crucial late free-kick.Citys 1-0 Cup triumph ended in controversy at AAMI Park on Wednesday night when Brosque, one on one with Melbourne City defender Osama Malik, went to ground just outside the penalty box in the 92nd minute.Much to the anger of Sydney players, referee Peter Green waved away shouts for a free-kick and a chance to restore parity following Tim Cahills earlier header.After watching replays, Brosque was certain hed been fouled and wondered how a team of officials, including two additional assistant referees, could have let such a big match moment go.Its surprising really. They introduced another referee to be able to see things like that and neither of them saw it, Brosque said.Im not complaining about it too much. It was sort of desperation at the end there and we would have liked to have done a bit better throughout the game to not be worrying on a 92nd-minute decision.But six referees, no one really had the guts to make a call and, in the end, we lost to a good Tim Cahill goal - he did what he always seems to do.Brosque disagreed with Greens explanation he didnt award a foul because both he and Malik had been holding onto each other, arguing that might have been the casse initially but, once through on goal, the City defender was all over me.ddddddddddddHe said he didnt know who to give the decision to, Brosque said.Thats what I pointed out - surely going through one on one with the keeper, theres no reason for me to continue holding.If we were both holding each other, once the attacking player is through on goal, if theres still contact, then he goes down - its a foul.Brosques opinion was backed by former Central Coast coach and Fox Sports pundit Phil Moss, who couldnt fathom how Peter Green missed it.For me, its 100 per cent a foul, 100 per cent red card and a chance for Sydney to get back in the game and send it into extra-time, Moss said.If you look at Osama Malik, hes got a handful of Brosque.Brosque is playing it smart as all good strikers do. They get across the line of a defender to ensure they either have to let them go or foul them.Sydney were dejected to leave Melbourne without the trophy theyd craved for six years, but intended to reignite their A-League title push on Sunday against Newcastle.Today, the boys are in better spirits, he said.We know we go up to Newcastle, we get a good win there, continue our form in the league and it gets forgotten about pretty quickly.
