Promising Saurashtra all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has backed Indian team’s strategy of playing a four-pronged spin attack against England in the ongoing fourth Test in Nagpur, and reckons the ploy would keep the hosts in good stead in the second innings as well.

"Four spinners will come in handy later in the game. Especially in the second innings, via the bowlers' foot marks," the 24-year-old all-rounder said at the post-day media conference n Thursday evening.
"Currently wicket is neither helping fast men nor spinners. I think spinners will get more and more help as the game progresses. Fast bowlers' deliveries are going slow after pitching," he added further.

"The less number of runs we give the better it will be for us. Ball will start turning on day two or three. As footmarks, develop ball will starting turning more. We should restrict them to 300-350," said the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364.
