Since 2012 England are the only visiting team to bat over 150 overs in a Test in India and they have done so on 5 occasions

Incredible stat. England have a solid batting line-up. They'll score a lot of runs in this series. Won't be surprised if Ahmedabad is a good batting wicket too.

As much as I'd like to give them credit, or not, they've also played on the most (number of) docile tracks among S.E.N.A. in India - 7 counting the 2012 tour & this test.

I think bcci has been careful not to give them bowling friendly pitches whether for seam/spin, after the 2012 debacle

Yes definitely, curiously Oz also had 2-3 tours post 2004 where we dished them absolute flatties but pitches against Eng have been even more flat.

Because we prepare absolute belters when they arrive here

Nah, its 90% because of the pitches they played in. India too scored big on same pitches
