I am looking at venues like Rajkot & Dharamsala  are prime candidates for BazBall to succeed. 

Rajkot is either flat road or offers extremely slow turn.  Ball travels in Dharamsala due to higher altitude. 

 

Raging spitting red soil Turner Mumbai would test BazBall but no Test there. 

I am unsure how Hyderabad would play out. 

 

Overall Eng has a decent shot at winning 2 tests in India at least.  They need one more spinner to partner Leach.  

 

Kuhnemann was a average left arm spinner made to look like peak Herath in India.  If India goes right hand heavy they should deploy Liam Dawson alongside Leach. 

Wood should play in Rajkot & Dharamsala fully fit. 

 

Dharamshala is bouncy like Australia, pitch is not soft there like in England. Rajkot will be a rank turner for sure, they'll make it one.

There is a lot of lateral movement in Dharamsala....  Aussie decks are hard & soil type & clay content is different. 

You can't replicate that. 

Either Dharamsala is excellent for stroke making though.  There is always pace in the pitch to get caught behind dismissals.

Again I repeat - It matters not who wins or loses but that "Jimmy" plays the game.

Jimmy msust play; Jimmy will play; Jimmy is everything. Jimmy is life, Jimmy is love, Jimmy is G.O.D.

Despite a poor toss decision and a changed ball. OZ inability to attack Moeen cost them the Ashes. Specifically Mitchell Marsh. As an RHB, his timidity against Moeen and getting out to a nothing ball cost Australia the Ashes. Called it in the match thread itself. That was the moment and Marsh choked by going into his shell.

Aussie bowlers's inability to counter Bazball cost them series win. If you are world class bowling attack, you should be able to dominate any batting lineup.

 

They came across as a very timid unit who did not know what to do under that assault.
