Sachin Tendulkar will most likely play his 200th and final test at his home ground---in Mumbai--is that the Wankhede cricket stadium ?
In 10 tests at Wankhede, Sachin has averaged only 47.06 and scored 1 hundred.
WILL THE WINDIES ALLOW SACHIN TO SCORE HIS 2ND HUNDRED AT HIS HOME GROUND ?

CHECK THIS:
[size=12pt]Sachin Tendulkar has scored 5 hundreds in 10 tests he has played at the M.A. Chidambaram stadium.[/size]

The BCCI ought to schedule one of the tests at that stadium.

India is strong in all departments and at home, although they have been vulnerable to excellent teams like England, I do not think the West Indies is a match.
Again, like most, it pains me to see Sammy in a test team and leading it, the recall of Best and Edwards are equally frustrating.
I expect Shillingford to do ok but not really hopeful. 2-0 to India would not be impossible but I am sure wHe will all be quite satisfied should this margin be reversed.
It is a tour you would want Narine on for his experience in India and the pitches.shame Ravi did not make it.
So no to the question posed.

I do recall this match, vaguely and your link assisted my recollection...many thanks.
However India has grown immensely since, the same cannot be said for the Windies!
You did mention the 6 test victories but I am of the opinion, whilst you can only win against the team presented, it was against Bangladesh, Zim and a NZ in deep internal strife.
I believe Narine, who orchestrated the Kiwis demise, is not even featured in the Indian series.
Happy to be surprised but I cannot see it happening and, sad as it is, I do not want to see it any other way as the WICB blindly persevere with Sammy.
He needs to be put out to pasture.

India has grown immensely you say ?
Go back and take a look at that Indian side ?
It is stronger than any side that will face the WI in 2013.
RE: THE WEST INDIES
The current side is much stronger and more experienced than the team in 2011.
BOTTOM LINE
India, playing at home, must be favored to win the series----but don't be surprised if the WI pulls off a shocker.

West Indies beating India will not be much of an upset . India has never dominated the West Indies throughout their history and even when the West Indies were in the doldrums they still managed to play the Indians on an even keel .
This series will not be any different
