India's short-term bowling coach Bruce Reid is banking on a clutch of videotapes on the Pakistani batsmen to advise his wards on the bowling strategy for the all-important Sunday's clash in the Champions Trophy.

"To be frank I have not seen much of Pakistan batsmen and am going by what others have to say about them. But we are expecting videotapes on the Pakistan batsmen soon," said Reid.

The former Australian left-arm paceman is known to advise bowlers not only on the line and length they should bowl to batsmen but also helps in plotting their downfall by closely scrutinising their techniques.

If Shahid Afridi, and not Imran Farhat and Yaseer Hameed, is the opener on Sunday, Reid said it was pretty apparent what tactics he would ask his bowlers to follow.
