The former Australia coach John Buchanan, speaking in the Advertiser, has given Australia a few tips on how to deal with Sachin Tendulkar during the Test series with India.

"What I've been seeing for a while is that his feet don't move early in his innings and he is not very fluid early on," Buchanan said. "That makes the good-pace short ball a great weapon. It doesn't necessarily mean you will get Sachin out with the shorter ball. But you can push him back on his crease and then look for a full ball which he can tend to squirt to the slips early in his innings when he doesn't have great control."
