England Coach Boycott said that England are ready to face India. India will play four test in England In July- August and the coach is quite confident. He said that England is developing as a strong Test Side, Peitersen, Bell, Morgan, Trott And Cook will be the key, Tremlett Anderson both have done alot for England with a backup of Swann and Broad. These players have helped us to ease up to victories and we surely developed as a test side.

Ishant Sharma's form is really a plus for India for the England series.Lets hope for the best in the upcoming and final test match WI are lucky to get a draw here.And their chances of squaring the series is really one in ten I guess

Yeh
There batting is just

Haha yeah true but they have some real talents in Barath,Bravo and Simmons and master-class players like Sarwan and Chanderpaul.Just finding it difficult to face Indian bowlers I guess :p Especially Ishant Sharma

West Indies bowling is quite strong according to me
And Sarwan, Simmons and Barath are finding it tough against Indians pacers
Well Chanderpaul is their main man, whatever situation it is Chanderpaul contributes atleast 20-30
He fights alone or usse dekh kar mujhe us par tars aata hai
