India vs. Pakistan test series

Re: Its going to be close
As you mention, the key to the test series is the performance of the Indian bowlers. Can they take 20 wkts against a talented, but perhaps fragile Pakistani batting line-up. A lot will obviously depend on Kumble - India's only proven world class bowler (at least in the absence of Harbhajan) - but he will need support from the seamers.
Very hard to call and I haven't seen much of Pakistan lately, but I'd pick them to shade the series, particularly if Shabbir plays and performs as his stats/reports suggest he has since making the team (similar to Glenn McGrath?).
Batsmen don't win test matches - the Aus-India series was a case in point.Jaydee said:

Shabbir is the Pakistani workhorse.
He is capable of bowling Long, very long spells on a nagging line and length and is capable of generating bounce.
[He proved that at home against SA and in NZ.]
He is not very pacey, 130-140 k, usually and it is seldom that he croses the 140 barrier but if he gets into his rhythm his line and length can be immaculate.

indians flattered in the league match
when will they improve.
after hitting 300+ how can they loose with 4 overs to spare?
may be now people will start to realise that it is not gonna be a cake walk for the indians

I don't think a Pakistan series will ever be considered a cake walk by reasonable Indians. They will always play out of their skins against India it's not really current form that counts in a Pak-Ind series, it is intensity, ability to handle the huge pressure, aggression that counts(has counted throughout their cricketing history).
