Harmsion - Somehow don't see him as a threat even though India batsmen die when it comes to bounce. Sehwag will be keen to get some wood over him after Harmison totally owned him with those deliveries rising outside off stump in the '06 tour. Anderson and Flintoff bowled superbly int he last tour and will be looking to continue that, I hear Anderson averages something like 13 with the ball in India
However I think our bowling attack has also improve since last time, Shreesanth, Pathan and Munaf Patel (Who was in fine form in that series) were our bowlers then along with Bhajji. I think Zaheer, Ishant, Bhajji and Mishra sound more threatening then the previous lot do. However Pathan and Harbhajan bowled excellently in that series.
Batting wise, If I remember correctly the likes of KP and Flintoff were in good form during the series? It took some special bowling to get rid of them. For India once again there is no Sachin, However Sehwag is a better player now than he was then, Yuvraj has got somewhat worse
, The rest is about the same - Now we have Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina (Who was a find in that series) and Gautam Gambhir - In fact the batting now looks better than then. Dhoni is not just a finisher as well anymore.
It will be interesting with captaincy as well, Aggressive V Aggressive
Last time it was Dravid v Flintoff, Not saying that Flintoff wasn't aggressive its just that these two player (KP and MS) are probably the most agressive players in terms of mentality in both of these squads put together. Overall should be a cracker! Hoping to see some big scores such as 300+ this time round.
