Fast bowler Jerome Taylor has credited the West Indies' positive bowling effort on tour of India thus far to input made by fast-bowling legend Sir Curtly Ambrose.

"SirCurtly is a very close friend of ours, and the fast-bowling unit in the side is gaining a lot from his wealth of experience," said Taylor, who claimed three for 54 to lead his West Indian counterparts in the second one-dayer last weekend.

"We are improving and are finding better ways to bowl on slow and low wickets," he added.

Later resulted

West Indies, currently tied at one a piece with the hosts in their five-match one-day international series, bowled out the home team for 197 in the first game in Kochi, resulting in the regional side winning by 124 runs, after earlier making 321 for six in their innings.

The second game in New Dehli then followed with the West Indies restricting India to 263 for seven after earlier projections based on the home team's scoring rate had predicted a total closer to 300.

West Indies were subsequently bowled out to hand India a 48-run win.

The third match-up slated for Visakhapatnam on Tuesday was cancelled without a ball being bowled due to a cyclone.

"We have our task cut out," said Taylor in reference to the remaining two games of the series, the first of which will be played tomorrow.

"He (Ambrose) continues to work very hard with us, and we are looking forward to the games."
