A dose of experience

8220;It8217;s going to be a different kind of cricket. Five of us have joined, so a bit of experience and a bit of youth. So it8217;s going to be a tough series,8221; Kumble told local reporters in Kingston. 8220;I am really looking forward to it. The last couple of years we played here, we went pretty close but lost out narrowly. We have come here to win the series and should be able to do that,8221; said Kumble.

Laxman, on the other hand, would be hoping to revive his form of 2002 when he hit a hundred and three fifties in a series that saw India go down 1-2 after winning the first Test. 8220;Their arrival is a huge boost for the side. With their tremendous records, Kumble and Laxman bring in that valuable edge,8221; said Ranjib Biswal, selector on tour with the team for the one-day series. 8220;It will be a new challenge for the West Indies now.8221;
