I can't imagine a sink strainer working the way you describe - why, on
earth, would water not
drain through the holes????? Has it got shrink wrap or something on the
basket? Try taking
it back to the place where you purchased the sink to find out either how
it should work or
whether the basket got switched from a different sink.
