“Our Belfast experience will help because you won’t get conditions worse than that. It was absolutely freezing and the conditions were tough. I’ve never encountereed anything like this in my entire career. This is something we are not used to, and experiencing that just before the series against England is wonderful,” remarked Sachin Tendulkar who completed his 15,000 one-day runs in the Future Cup series.
--Well, India haven’t won a Test at Lord’s since 1986. I hope this time around they break the jinx, for they have the potential to beat this England side. Yes, I will be there in the Lord’s balcony cheering Rahul and boys.

Homer,
The comments on the Andy bull's blog article are quite interesting. Most of the readers are shooting him down for being arrogant in saying that England is comfortably the number 2 side!:)
This series is going to be interesting but possibility of spin playing a major role looks quite remote, considering the wet weather so far!!
I'm still worried that our bowlers won't be that penetrative against quality batsmen here!
Chandan,
the same skepticism was expressed during the South Africa tour too,and we won a test there.
I will back our bowlers to exploit all the help available under conditions even slightly favorable to the bowlers.
The batsmen were the worry. But the Irish detour seems to have done the batting form some good.
Overall confidence is also high. Body language is good and people are genuinely enjoying each others company.
All augurs well for a series win. The only question is - what will be the margin?
Cheers
Homer
