16th July (CRICKETNMORE) - West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite says India have a formidable batting line-up and the upcoming test series at home will be equally tough against the Indian spinners.
"Their batting line-up is undoubtedly one of the stronger batting line-ups in the world, home and away, and unfortunately or fortunately for us it a lot similar to India in the Caribbean," Brathwaite was quoted as saying by the WICB website. Check India vs WICB XI Scorecard

Brathwaite feels that patience will be a key in the coming series keeping in mind that India have a better batting line-up. West Indies have not won a Test match against India in 14 years and have lost eight of their last 15 encounters and drawn seven.
"It's about us being patient as a team, patient as a bowling unit and as individuals not getting frustrating. We are up against one of the better batting units and you have to do what you have been doing in first class cricket over a long period of time," said Brathwaite, who made his Test debut against Australia last year.
"It's just a matter of us having a few options to each delivery, being patient and ultimately, playing the waiting game. I think whoever plays the patient game better will come out on top in the series."
