India favourites against England in disarray

I would think that the guys who play County cricket in England should be in the XI.

especially the bowlers ...

If India play the poorer bowler and go from 260/5 to 330 all out, but then concede 500 because they can't keep pressure, that's much worse.

as long as Ishant Sharma don't play, India stands a good chance of winning! 

There are two points - it says explicitly in the headline of how India being "favorites" is bullshit.

Article is shit IMO - because it's extremely simplistic - as bad as it is for Poms, I don't think he's really done a balanced writeup on the situation of Poms. It's not really as terribly by any stretch.

Sadly, that is bound to happen because, he happens to be the spearhead for this attack.Bhuvi and shami will surely play and the third bowler toss up would be between Aaron and Ishant.Going by his experience, he will play, and India will lose the series because he will always bowl those "hit-me" deliveries and those stupid full lengths, which can easily be dispatched..
Am I getting emotional..??
