Personally I expect Pak to win the ODIS and the Tests to be drawn.

Pak has had an edge over Ind in recent ODI's so they should be the favourites for that series. But India at home is tough to beat.
For the Tests, going by Pakistan's recent form in Test cricket, I think India has the advantage with their awesome batting lineup. For Pakistan to have a chance to take out Ind in six innings, they will need a fully fit Shoaib. Prince Ali |

If we are going to beat India in the test series, we need Sami and Shoaib firing.

With Irfan Pathan on our side, we have better bowling line up

Well I think India have a better batting line up but Pakistan have superior bowlers.

It would be fair to say both teams are known for thier inconsistency. I think on home turf Indain batting will have edge over pakistans balling strength R a m e s h

More than likely spinning dust bowls will be produced, I feel.

QUOTE(Akhtar @ Feb 11 2005, 03:42 AM) In every series the pitches are prepared to the advantage to the home team. Hai na? Sorry if the visitors don't have pacers/spinner/whatever! Ask New Zealand! They prepare mine-fields! If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

QUOTE(Akhtar @ Feb 11 2005, 04:42 AM) And, more so to the advantage of Pakistani team, I guess. Last time, a dust bowl was dished out in B'lore, India lost big time when SMG made 96 in the last inning. Seriously, I don't think that there has been ever any conscious efforts to corner any significant advantages by preparing taylor-made pitches whenever Pakistan visited, for both the teams are subcontinetal teams with similar conditions and nature-wise alike in skills. Pitch is a non-issue, that way. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living". I fear if I examined it, then according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle it would somehow change. After all, we are just particles.
