Lets face it. A perfect confluence of factors have made India look like a club team against England. For one their already weak bowling looks very pathetic without Zaheer and Harbhajan giving you nothing. Their batting has also been terrible. However good batting alone is not enough to win in the swinging and seaming conditions in England. You need good pacers too and Zaheer (who is injured) apart the current indian seam attack is mediocre. Ishant is too inconsistent. PK is inexperienced at this level. You need atleast 2 or 3 Zaheers to do well here

Sri Lanka had the same problem. Their batting was okish except for one innings but they lacked a potent pace/seam attack

That being said this English attack is not lethal by any means. It is not more than decent. For starters they lack serious pace. The same seamers I can almost guarantee you would look pretty ordinary on the slow sub-continental pitches. But Anderson and co. know how to make the best use of seaming conditions in England

England is a fine team and all that but Id like to see them in the subcontinent before crowning them #1.
