If bowling is defensive then fielding should block easy singles ...and if bowling is attacking then fielding should be defensive to prevent boundaries from nicks .
Don Bradman never batted in India because it was not up to the mark. Greg Chappell never played in India because India never mattered. Shane Warne played and continues to be interested in India because today all the money is in India.
Warne's advice sounds like this serial wife cheater offering marital advice to young couples because this guy was taken to the cleaners by Sachin and Laxman and hardly made an impression against Indians be it in India or Australia.
Go with the intention of batting till eternity .Do not pad up and keep your pads away lbw is easy ploy in these pitches. Dry up runs while bowling ,test the patience of Indian and use out side leg stump ploy to frustrate the IPL players .
