What conditions would you want for your team?

[jeevan]

Kumble was pretty much a tailender at that time ,and Agarkar wasn't much better than say a Praveen Kumar.

Except for Broad who may not play even,England's tail is not much better than India specially if you take into account Harbhajan being likely to play.

Zaheer played 2 crucial crucial supporting knocks in SA in tougher conditions than they are likely to have in England with Laxman, Ishant played that crucial role with Laxman again in that Mohali test and has played some little knocks before too.
Harbhajan has 2 test centuries again batting mostly with Laxman and Praveen is a pretty decent bat for a tailender.
Mishra if he plays can pretty much hold his own too as he showed in the recent test against West Indies on a low scoring surface. Only really Sreesanth has done nothing.

His best batting performance in tests probably came in England 4 years ago. I.e. the 75 odd run stand for the last wicket, which enabled Kumble to score his only ton and took India from 590 to 660-odd.

I'd like 5 minutes to go, a few wickets left to get and Michael Clarke bowling to the tail in Sydney

Will you also love 5 minutes to go, a few runs left to get and Graeme Swann bowling to the tail in Lords?

Think he'd done his bit by then

 

[zaremba]

Pretty simple: a pitch with a bit of pace and bounce.

 

[miscer]

im hoping for a turning track. lets see what happens

 

[G.I.Joe]

TBH, as much as we've been turning the tables on the opposition on seaming tracks over the past few years, the best possible pitch for the Indian team is still a square turner. Its a pity we never get those nowadays. I wonder why.

 

[Teja.]

I'd want nice and sunny conditions but I really want Jimmy Anderson to come out of his house to play the game too.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Get off his case. He gets sunburnt easily.

Came out of his house, plenty of time during the Ashes.
