The New World Champions v Ashes Heroes

What a wonderful summer ahead with India visiting our shores playing 4 tests against a resurgent England.

Will home advantage be crucial between these two giants of the game ?

Regarding the test series - I feel that India has more match winners in their side and should on paper win, but cricket isn't played on paper.

I will be watching the Sri Lanka series closely too. It will be a good appetizer before the real thing.

Even though England did extremely well in Australia, India are a different beast all together. It will be very close and conditions permitting England may do well but i still see India winning.

I reckon the England-India series will end 1-1.

India are a bunch of home town heroes. Cannot see them winning against the best pace attack in the world.

To me its an even contest england won in oz and were able to take wickets on traditionally flat wickets, something we're often criticised for so even if the pitches are flat we can be dangerous India are rightly no 1 in the world so are going to be very hard to beat, exceptional batting line-up and to me an underated bowling attack.

Any result is possible - i'm going to say England but then i'm bias

The best pace attack in the world is not involved in this particular series.

Agreed that India did not win again the best pace attack in the world; they drew 1-1 both home and away with South Africa.

I would rather back a team of exciting "home-town heroes" than a team of "consistently boring bottlers". My vote is for India.

India all the way!! I reckon they will start slow as usual and then end up dusting England under the carpet............
