Much awaited India vs England Test and One Day Cricket series is scheduled to start at famous Lord’s Stadium on 21st July 2011. England has been known as very tough side at the home grounds. There is a huge hype around the series as Sachin Tendulkar is ‘yet’ to finish his landmark 100th Century. Let us hope Sachin’s batting in first test at Lord’s would bring out the much awaited knock. Ashes and recent performances of team England have indicated that the England team can beat any team in the world of cricket, particularly at home series. The past statistics shows India’s pathetic performance on England at home grounds of the British side. Though there is a sea change in the Indian side’s performance and attitude in the recent past, beating England in England will never be a cakewalk!
