@Yoda I rate Asia cup because it gives an Idea how good your team stands in subcontinent.Also because it has a India-Pakistan fixture == 100 IPL matches. If it's day night fixtures are played under proper lights and on good pitches It can be a very exciting tournament . But it's taste that varies from person to person, for me it's intl ODIs>IPL.

Rather late now but the BCCI can add a couple of tests if they really want to. England don't have any cricket until January anyway.
Weve got WI coming over in Nov, I bet that series starts like the day after the last ODI vs Eng ends. Then we leave for Aus straight after. Only genuine break is after the CL and prior to this ODI series. In fact this tour is totally uncessary and would have been an ideal oppo for a bit of a breather. Of course any bit of spare time in our cricketers schedules needs cricket shoehorned in. We are now looking at it as a chance at revenge, but really should not have been scheduled.

Send England youth team on India tour
After a summer of total domination against India, how's the future of English cricket looking? We've seen if you hang on to your players and their success for too long you end up dropping down the pile, as Australia have and India are in danger of doing. My personal view is this one day tour to India in October should be made up of our next generation of young cricketers to give them the experience of Indian conditions so we're ready for it in the future, as it can be hard for a cricketer to adjust to conditions. Most of this present team have played enough cricket to excel in those conditions and we've obviously taught India a lesson they might find hard to recover from. Our cricketers have had non-stop cricket for a few years now with some difficult tours ahead, missing a three week tour will do them the world of good, keeping them feeling fresh for the Pakistan series in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, followed by a trip to Sri Lanka. Here we go: - A Cook (Essex) - C Keiswetter (Somerset) - A Hales (Notts) - Buttler (Somerset) - B Stokes (Durham) - Bairstow (Yorkshire) - Taylor (Leicester) - Woakes (Warwick) - Meaker (Surrey) - Dernbach (Surrey) - Finn (Middlesex) - T Maynard (Surrey) - Kerrigan or Briggs (Lanc/ Hampshire) - M Chambers (Sussex) - Borthwick (Durham) Take for the ride: - Luke Wells (Sussex) - Topley (Essex) - J Root (Yorks) - Ashraf (Yorks) - Balcombe (Hampshire currently on loand to Kent) Coach, A Giles Ball Coach, G Welch Batting Coach, G Thorpe I've kept in Cook who I feel needs to lead a side in India, Keiswetter who's a one day specialist at the moment and Dernbach who's not yet the finished article. What I've enjoyed this Summer is, having two teenage sons of 16 and 13, I've got to watch plenty of representative county cricket in tournaments playing 40 overs per side, including an U13s tour of Sussex and U16s tour of Jersey. I've seen some good cricket from the youth of today which satisfies me that English cricket should continue to excel, the only worry looking down the line is lack of fast bowlers, who are few and far between. So far the two I've seen with huge potential, Topley from Essex and Oliver Stone from Northants©Ãut we need more!
Right, England has won only 4(!) games out of 19 ODI's that has been played from 2002-2011 in India against India. Anderson, the Modern Marshall/Holding/(put a great seam bowler's name here) etc, has taken 12 wickets in 12 matches @ 48.16 with an economy rate of 5.89. Barbie has taken 7 wickets in 5 matches @37 with an economy rate 6.13! Ian Ghanta, the modern Bradman, has aggregated 239 runs in 8 matches @29. Yeah sure, since it has been said by the almighty Darren Gough, surely these players dont need to prove themselves in Indian conditions. Looks like he already knows the series result so why bother sending the main team when the result isn't going to be any different.:haha:

What should be the India squad for home series against England? This is my squad of 16:-First XI-Rahane,Gambhir,Kohli,Yuvraj,Raina,Dhoni,Jadeja,Ashwin,Harbhajan,Praveen,Munaf/Aaron.Resrves:-Parthiv,Rohit,RP/Umesh,Mishra.I don't think Sachin,Sehwag,Zaheer & Ishant will play,they may feature in the tst series against the WI.I also feel Nehra will be ignored like the Eng series.
