(Reuters) - Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson does not expect his New Zealand team mates to be focused on reclaiming the number one spot in the world test rankings when they take on South Africa in the second clash in their two-match series on Friday.
Opener Sarel Erwee says the Proteas understand and fully accept the heated criticism that is coming their way from back home after a poor showing in the first New Zealand Test last week.
Despite playing it safe in an official statement on Monday announcing their unavailability, Lions management actually still hold out hope that the Tshituka brothers, Vince and Emmanuel, could feature in Friday's United Rugby Championship meeting with Leinster in Dublin.
Having been dropped from India's upcoming Test series vs Sri Lanka, out-of-form batters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane received unlikely backing from a former India cricketer, who labelled the treatment of the duo as "unfair". Pujara and Rahane faced plenty of criticism after India's recent Test series defeat in South Africa and questions were raised about their place in the Indian playing XI. Meanwhile after dropping the duo, Team India chief selector Chetan Sharma said that they will need to find their way back to the national side through good performances in the Ranji Trophy.
Kyle Jamieson does not expect his New Zealand teammates to be focused on reclaiming the number one spot in the world Test rankings when they take on South Africa in the second clash in their two-match series on Friday. The Blackcaps thrashed the visiting South Africans in their first meeting in Christchurch last week and another win over the Proteas would see the New Zealanders replace Australia at the top of the Test rankings. A draw would give New Zealand their first series win over the South Africans, and Jamieson stressed the squad would be thinking only about the task at hand. "I think for the group, it's about each Test as it comes," Jamieson said. "There's other things that just come through the work of each session and each day. "While it's cool to get those milestones and stuff, it's not the focal point. It's about us trying to back up that last game, and if we do that, hopefully we'll come away with a win."

New Zealand go into the second Test against South Africa on Friday on the cusp of clinching the series and reclaiming the mantle of number one in the world. A draw in Christchurch would give New Zealand a historic first series win against South Africa in 17 attempts, while victory would not only complete a 2-0 series sweep but it would see them dislodge Australia at the top of the world rankings.
