India v England: reasons for tourists to be cheerful - and fearful Any pace in the pitch makes Steve Finn and Jimmy Anderson more dangerous. If it is flat, then a draw is the likely result. Who would be a groundsman? Causes for concern 1 The IPL gazillionaires are under pressure for the first time. Sourav Ganguly said this week that Sachin Tendulkar should go and MS Dhoni relinquish the Test captaincy. Gautan Gambhir, the most expensive player in IPL history, has not scored a Test hundred for three years. Desperate men are dangerous men. 2 Ashok Dinda and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja look set to make their Test debuts, replacing the sluggish Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan, and will bring energy to India, at least in the field. Last month Jadeja became the first Indian to score three triple centuries in domestic cricket and Dinda has waited patiently for his chance at the age of 28. 3 Don't forget Virender Sehwag is in form. He made a hundred in Ahmedabad and was set when he was run out in Calcutta. In what could be a low-scoring Test he could make a game-changing contribution in the opening session of the match when batting will be easiest. He is also talked of as a possible replacement for Dhoni, with whom it is rumoured he does not have a great relationship. He has much to play for.
