Bob Woolmer, one of the finest coaches in world cricket, outlines the five things India needs to do beat Australia in the four-Test series that begins on October 6 in Bangalore.

I think the key to beating Australia is Harbhajan Singh and possibly Anil Kumble. These are the guys who will make the greatest impact. They have both done well, Harbhajan had a fantastic series in 2001 and Kumble was superb in Australia earlier this year. In tandem, they should pose a lot of problems. Irfan Pathan, for sure, and possibly two more seamers, who will be tidy, should play the supporting role to perfection.
