England should be ready to face "Spin Death Traps" of India and they will be made to look like Novices in The Sub Continent - Similar to what South Africa had faced earlier.
With No DRS available for this Series also, it will be tough for them to cope up.
Only Pakistan in 1999, South Africa in 2000 & Australia in 2004 showed that India can be Beaten inside India with incisive Pace Bowling alone.
Pakis had Wasim, Waqar & Shoaib to Torment Indian batsmen. Saqlain & Mushtaq Ahmed were also too Hot to handle in 1999 tour of India.
South Africa had Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Nantie Hayward, Jacques Kallis & Lance Klusener in their Bowling line-up in 2000 series vs India.
Australia had Glenn Mc Grath, Jason Gillespie, Brett Lee in their arsenal in the 2004 series.
Hence Spin alone is not enough to defeat Indian team in our backyard.
If England also have Quality Fast Bowlers (Already No James Anderson for this series) - They can still do an en core and try to defeat Indian team with quality pacers.

Let's not forget that we do not have the likes of Dravid and Laxman who were great players of spin. English spin bowlers did us in in the last series. And I doubt if the present crop of Indian batsmen have it in them to negotiate English spin bowlers. Our spinners might take the game away from the English, but our batters need to patiently apply themselves at the crease.
Please make sporting wickets and not rank turners. The thrill of Test matches are going down as we won every test in india within 3 / 4 days. It makes Ashwin a genius bowler which he is not as it is proved by his overseas record.

Saqlain Mushtaq ,Adil Rasheed and Moein Ali are now UK Citizens and not Pak Citizens. Therefore why should we object?
