Sachin Tendulkar has an important suggestion for English spinner duo Leach and Bess in India

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar reckons Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann were successful in India because they bowled a lot quicker.

Xtra Time Web Desk: Former India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Friday shared an important advice for the English spinner duo of Jack Leach and Dom Bess on how to be successful in the subcontinent. Sharing his experiences of the series that England won against India back in 2012-13, the master blaster felt both Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann returned successful as they bowled a lot quicker than usual.

According to Tendulkar, the current English spinners Jack Leach and Dom Bess need to follow their predecessors if they want a similar success like them.

Compared to Swann-Panesar duo, the current left-arm orthodox spinner Leach is a touch slower and will be more effective only if he can vary his pace on tracks that offer turn.

“That (one in 2012) was a different attack, and Graeme Swann was one of the leading spinners in the world back then. Monty, given the style of bowling, he was not one of those bowlers, who believed in tossing up the ball. He was more of a hit the deck bowler,” Tendulkar told PTI during an exclusive interaction on Thursday.

“Monty would really bowl fast, so it was completely different and Jack Leach, unlike Monty, I think he is slightly slowish bowler,” he said.

Tendulkar also felt that Leach doesn”t vary his pace a lot which will be required on tracks that offer turn.

“Whatever I have seen, he bowls at that same pace. So if the wicket is offering turn and considerable help, then varying your pace does matter because then batsmen get much lesser time to react, something that Swann and Monty effectively did with us in 2012,” Tendulkar said.
