Good or bad?
India have just the one warm up game against Somerset before we kick off with two tests at Lords and Trent Bridge.
Surely some of their batsmen and Zaheer who didn't tour the Windies will be a little rusty, which should hopefully be only good for our boys.
Or will a fresh Tendulkar and co be raring to go after a long rest?

How raring to go can you be at 38?
Hopefully quite after the rest.

I would not worry about an under cooked team. Already so much cricket is being played. The break is always a welcome.

England have a good chance if the bowl first or bat first at Lords. what ever India do if they win the toss they had better do it well.. Thats just my personal opinion..

India have generally been a bit undercooked and at their most vulnerable for the first match in any series - even against New Zealand at home (when they just about escaped with a draw). It has always been a great opportunity for the opposition to go one up.
