[Jeet]

Not underestimating zaheer or any of the Indian bowlers but I think it will depend on who performs the Sri Lanka series will be important as need to continue to play well to beat them

I'm looking forward to see Malinga bowl in English conditions, providing he can stay fit for longer that 5 mins!

I'm looking forward to seeing how England handle mendis as he is the Kinch pin of there attack

[Damo1583]

England should remember Sri Lanka are coming over as well, they can play a bit as well...

I know....I am Sri Lankan....

Zaheer out bowled Anderson in 2007, so same again 2011.

Broad has done what recently?

Harbhajan is village, which I agreed to.

I also agree with the 3rd seamer.

Bowling is 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 in England's favour

Thats a ludicrous comment, Anderson is a totally different bowler than he was in 2007

[Mr Cricket]

stay on topic jeet, or create a new one for your love of zaheer khan.

India do not struggle with the high quality seam of Zaheer, but a back up seamer. Sresanth looks promising, yes, but has done now for some years and is yet to fully deliver goods that India require from him...

Sreesanth is dreadful!

Sure pal. He bashed the match fixers(pakistan) good and proper but India are different league to pakistan.

Who would you include Jeet?

[harrystokoe]

Each to their own. Zaheer, since his stint for Worcestershire, has been outstanding. He's the best left arm seamer in the World. He's also the best exponent of reverse swing. He's also ranked number 3 in the World, not bad considering he has to bowl on back breaking pitches in India.

Actually Zaheer is now number 4 in the Test ranking, Steyn is 1st, then Swann, and Anderson 3rd.

typical jeet and his Indian loving.

Your right about having better batters but it is a interesting topic about your future sorry but slthough i doubt the talent is running thin but i see nobody coming through in the same class Tendulkar  Dravid Schwag (sp) and doubt there ever will

England bowling attack is not marginally better than India it much better take away Zaheer and its a poor looking attack..

But unfortunately Jeet that is in the future and to be honest i could not give a damm about that series yet think i'll concentrate on our BIG RIVAL series the Ashes as big as it gets in cricket....

Win that and we shall see remember we have potentially the best set up as well so all in all things are looking good in Australia and we shall deal with India when they come...

Change happened today, I missed it.

Trott is up there in the rankings at first i was unsure about him but he has to go down as England best number 3 in recent history a classy player

[Jeet]

Who would you include Jeet?

Irfan Pathan would be pretty handy. In seaming/swinging conditions he's fantastic. He can bat as well, but Dhoni hates him, so he never gets picked.

RP Singh is also talented, but it would be slightly bizarre for India to field 3 left arm fast bowlers

[Opener]

England won the test and are looking more than likely to win Ashes. I don't know how India figure in.

Zaheer Khan at best is Chaminda Vaas level of bowler....
