Madan advice to captain

Madan Lal, who coached India with distinction for a while said the team should go in with a proper bowling line up, that would concentrate more on pace rather than outright spin."What if you lose the toss on and Sri Lanka opt to bat? The pitch would not start turning from the first day. That is when you would need your pacers to get you the breakthroughs. In fact, I would still say India should go in with five bowlers, three pacers and two spinners.""Fast bowlers have a much better chance of winning you matches than spinners. You can keep on rotating the seamers for short spells and if the wickets suit them, they will get you wickets and rattle the opposition up."With the kind of batting line up we have, we can easily go in with six batsmen. Whether India play Dinesh Karthik or Parthiv Patel as the keepers
