For some reason, England rarely win the first Test.
We didn't against Saffa in 2003 (I think, I may be wrong)
We didn't against Oz in England in 2005
We didn't against Pak in Pak when we should have in 2005
We didn't against India in 2005/06
We didn't against Pak in 2006
We didn't against WI in 2007
We didn't against India at Lords
I don't rate Agarkar.
I don't think he brings much to the team. No pace, no seam or swing.
1-0 would be only a third as bad (not mathematically) as our 5-0 drubbing

The bowling line-up does look a little bare. Agarkar comes back in for Sreesanth and Munaf also comes in but I guess we will be going 3-1 with Agarkar, Munaf and Zaheer and then Piyush. Definitely expect Powar to get more than a couple of games. Batting line-up looks tight. I'm really interested to see if India go with a 6-5 line-up provided that Piyush is expected to be handy with the bat.

It would mean about the same as the CBS was. A pleasing but frustrating display which in no way makes up for the embarassing test performances
