With the Australians coming to India in October, speedster Brett Lee is in Chennai to get first hand knowledge of bowling in Indian conditions from former India pacer Javgal Srinath.

Lee, who arrived on Monday night, spent time on Tuesday "learning the tricks on slow bouncy Indian wickets from Srinath," T A Sekhar, chief coach of the MRF Pace Academy, said.

Lee will practice bowling at the academy with Srinath, a consultant coach of MRF, and Sekhar, for four more days.

Australia will play four Tests during their tour of India, starting September 30.

Lee, who had earlier trained at the academy under pace legend Dennis Lillee in 1996 and 1998, was keen to train again at least a month before the Aussies' tour begins, so that he will be able to extract the maximum from Indian pitches during the tour.

"Perhaps, Lee would have seen the performance of the Indian bowlers after they were trained by Bruce Reid during their tour to Australia and approached MRF for a similar training in Chennai," Sekhar said.
