Ishant is a very good bowler, but, lacks line and length. No Indian bowler is consistant. They must follow Mcgrath of Aussies for his disciplined bowling.
India will certainly come out as true champions with a handsome series win. If they have Tremlett, Broad, Brenson and others we have Gambhir, Viru, Dravid, VVS, Yuvraj and the ever great Sachin. All of them will be more than handful for the English bowlers. Gone are the days when we were dependent on spinners only. We now boast of world class pace attack consisting of Zaheer, Ishant,Praveen and the moody Sreesanth backed up with Bhajji and Mishra in the spin department. No one should underestimate the capabilities of our players. Do not consider Gharki murgi dal barabar.

Really ? I think you have forgotten about last years England-Pakistan series. To refresh your mind, three Pakistani cricketers got suspended for spot fixing.
Zaheer & Ishant will be the key bowlers if at all India manage to beat England in this series. England is formidable side & have beaten mighty Australians in their own backyard down under in last Ashes series. Bowlers like Anderson, Tremlett,Broad, Bresnan & Swann will come all guns blazing at Indian batsmen. It will be survival of the fittest for Indian batsmen as far as this England tour is concerned. Sehwag if plays, will be most crucial player who will decide fate of India's batting in this series.
So this combat of Indian batsmen against England bowlers would be worth watching. Bored of T20 & ODIs already, I can't wait to see real Test cricket coming up.
Zaheer Ishant,and our old quickies Irfan and Nehra barring their present form are well suited for England.Irfan is one of the craftiest seamers India has produced and was a deceptive bowler in his hey days.
Sreesanth despite the "love hate relationship" the country has with him also can prove quite a handful
