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 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.
