Former Aussie pace great Glenn McGrath reckons India's chances of winning the Pataudi Trophy will depend on how they play the English seamer

James Anderson
Virat Kohli and his men will have to "get on top" of the swing and seam of the seasoned James Anderson to brighten India's chances in the upcoming Test series against England, feels Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath. "Anderson is going to be a big player. It is how the Indian batsmen face his swing and bowling in English conditions. If they can get on top of Anderson, that is going to make a big difference for them. I think for them he is definitely going to be the key," McGrath told reporters here.
The Australian, who is director of coaching at MRF Pace Foundation, said though the Indian bowlers have been doing well in recent times, batting remains their strength. "It is going to be interesting. India started really well in England, obviously it is in the ODIs and T20s. The batting line-up has always been their strength. Just heard about injuries to (Jasprit) Bumrah and Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar). So it will be interesting to see their bowling line-up, to see who comes in and takes the load.
