Kumble - often easy to play on good pitches

He bowls a tremendous line and length, slanting the ball into the right-handers. But if you play him inside out, as a batsman you can have some joy against him.

Sarandeep Singh did not bowl enough, and I don't know what was going through Sourav Ganguly's mind. He bowled less than Sanjay Bangar, for example.

Of course, with Harbhajan Singh expected to be fit for Trinidad, Sarandeep will probably not play at Port-of-Spain.

With the new ball, Srinath bowled beautifully - he's one of the best around.

As for India's batting, Tendulkar initially rescued them after a poor start, and Rahul Dravid then settled in to score a century.

He's got a good reach and gets straight to the pitch of the ball, but for someone who has such a good average he should really have scored more centuries in his career, I think.

Rahul Dravid showed his excellent technique

I mentioned Sanjay Bangar last time. He shows a lot of class in some of his innings and in others is too impatient. I am hoping he's saving himself for Trinidad.

West Indies pitches are not too dissimilar these days to the ones in India.

They say the pitch at Port-of-Spain has a bit of grass on it, but it will be very dry underneath and the ball will turn.

In fact, Trinidad is always known to be a turner - all the great spinners have always bowled there.

My view is that Harbhajan and Kumble will have to bowl well in harness in the latter part of the match.

I have to say that I was impressed with the West Indies in Guyana. Sir Garfield Sobers did a really good job in the few days he had with the team.

I would dearly love to help the Indian players when they come here!

I have got a bit of experience in these conditions, after all, after playing county cricket at Lancashire.
