I'm not denying that India's seamers have been diabolical for years now (with the exception of Zaheer and now maybe Yadav). But the facts are at home their spinners have been pretty effective bowling to various tourists. Whether you think thats down to **** batting or fluke bowling, they've been fairly successful.

This is just a bandwagon thread, no offense. The truth is, in the current game, Eden Gardens has always been and still is a total road. The matches always come alive in the last five sessions, and that will probably happen here again. In the last test, KP and Cook batted brilliantly, while India were poor.

Again, too many snap opinions being formed. The reason India is currently failing against England is down to their batting, not their bowling.
