Cricket: Woolmer offers tips for tour success

(Daily Post (Liverpool) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)ENGLAND have been provided with a dossier to defeat India by an Englishman who has already tasted Test series success against them this winter.

Ex-international Bob Woolmer, whose Pakistan side followed the 2-0 win over England with victory over the Indians, says the ability of England's pace quartet to dismantle the home top order will be key.

The former

Warwickshire and South Africa coach has also pinpointed Mohali as the venue where Michael Vaughan's tourists are most likely to win.

"The best way to beat India is with pace, not spin, as the Indian batsmen play spin better than anyone," Woolmer said. "Using their local SG ball will be a novelty' it has a large seam and is ideal for spin bowlers but, when Pakistan toured there last year, the ball did not swing either as new or with reverse.



"In fact, it nullified Irfan Pathan, who tends to swing the ball a long way."

England expect to be faced by turning tracks, which are suited to India's spin twins Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble.


"For England to take the series they will probably have to avoid defeat at Nagpur, go to Mohali level, where they have their best chance of victory, and then hang on at Mumbai, the toughest of the venues."
