Perth, January 20: Basking in the glory of the historic win in the third cricket Test against Australia, a jubilant Indian bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad declared that the visiting side had the best attack in the world.

"I've always been saying that our bowlers are the best in the business," said Prasad.

"When you've got a good wrist and seam position, obviously the ball swings with the breeze here in Perth."

"Second, they have got the pace as well bowling around 135kmh, sometimes 140kmh, so they can trouble any batsman, any batsman in world cricket today," he told reporters.

On yesterday's 72-run win which has brought the series alive, Prasad said the Indians succeeded as they stuck to the principle of KISS (Keep It Super Simple).

Prasad said India won because they banked on their strengths instead of trying to match Australian bowlers' speed.

"Anil (Kumble) has been stressing all along that we should follow the Indian strength which is to rely on seam and swing. There is no point in trying to be a Brett Lee or Shaun Tait," Prasad told reports today.

"The best thing about Indian bowlers is that their seam and wrist position is always outstanding. It makes my task easier," he added.
