I think, is their seam bowling and whether it can take 20 wickets quickly enough for them to win. I have a feeling they can.

India bowling strength lies in Spin:
but English wickets can break the most redoubtable spinner's heart !
India pacemen are all too often not of international standard !

zacaroni ,
see the 5 bowlers thread and 10 guys that bowled vs. Leicestershire .

I saw it. And it kinda looks depressing for them. Hopefully, for their sake, the added intensity of the tests will improve performance. I feel Bhuvneshwar, Sami, and Sharma can form a good seam attack. If it swings Bhuvneshwar has the skills to be quite effective. Nobody rated Sri Lanka's bowling and they still won.

Bullshit. I mean sure, it's conceivable that India might win this series - but favorites? It's an even contest. By no means are they "favorites" - in fact there are no favorites in this series.
The article is shit.
Re: India favourites against England in disarray - zacaroni - 07-07-2014
The article does not refer to them as favorites Kyle though the writer clearly thinks India can win. What are the s*** points you think the article tries to make?

Clearly,there are no favorites for this series.England have been beaten,but with that you can never undermine the team's ability.India too have been beaten here before,even some 5 decades back and the more recent 4-0 whitewash.It is all grabbing advantages and fielding at their best,in fact everything will contribute to be a major factor here.I reckon it is 2-1 win in India's favor.

I don't think so. England are the clear favourites. Indian batsmen are always afraid of English pitches.

Are you kidding me,you seem to have gone nuts.Both teams are well matched and can win over the other any day.England recently had a slump in form and "wise men" never call them favorites..!!Had this been Zimbabwe touring them,you could safely say England are clear favorites.Every team in the top 5 can beat the other.
